élhosszúságok

Élhosszúságok refers to the lengths of the edges in a geometric figure, particularly in the context of polygons and polyhedra. In a polygon, the élhosszúságok are the lengths of the line segments that form its sides. For a triangle, these would be the lengths of the three sides. For a square, all four élhosszúságok are equal. In more complex polygons, the élhosszúságok can vary.

In three-dimensional geometry, élhosszúságok refer to the lengths of the edges of a polyhedron. A polyhedron is a solid in three dimensions with flat polygonal faces, straight edges and sharp corners or vertices. The edges are the line segments where two faces meet. For example, a cube has twelve élhosszúságok, all of which are equal. A rectangular prism, on the other hand, will have three sets of four equal élhosszúságok, corresponding to its length, width, and height.

The concept of élhosszúságok is fundamental in geometry for calculating properties such as perimeter, area, volume, and surface area. It is also crucial in fields like engineering, architecture, and computer graphics where precise measurements of shapes are required. Understanding the élhosszúságok allows for the construction, analysis, and manipulation of geometric forms. The term is of Hungarian origin and directly translates to "edge lengths."
