Definition of trihedron in English:
trihedron
nounPlural trihedra, Plural trihedronstrʌɪˈhiːdrəntraɪˈhidrən
A solid figure having three sides or faces (in addition to the base or ends).
Example sentencesExamples
- Besides chopping-tools, polyhedrons and some cleavers, trihedrons and bifaces form the most characteristic element within the tools.
- A hollowed trihedron replica is thus obtained having exactly the same shape as the model.
- However, these trihedra were much larger and were growth defects which arose from a mechanism other than the condensation of vacancies or the release of misfit strain.
- A set of possible initial registrations is generated searching and aligning pairs of compatible trihedra from different views.
- A line making equal angles with the edges of a trihedron is called an isoclinal line of the trihedron.
- Instead of vector components the orthonormal trihedrons of coordinate systems are subjected to transformations.
- From now on, we will move trihedrons to restore their positions and colors, without moving dihedras.
- If this antenna is perfect, the axes of the two trihedrons would be respectively parallel to each other.
Origin
Early 19th century: from tri- 'three' + -hedron, on the pattern of words such as polyhedron.
