For background please use the two links which are the bold and blue words.
A solid whose plan view and front and side elevations resembled a multiplication symbol (x) bounded by a circle may be viewed here.
It is the third on that page.
The object can be created by imposing 3 cylinders on a cube in each of the x, y and z dimensions.
If the edges of the cube are of unit length, What is the volume of this object?
How mundane (as being simple) a solution can we get?
Joel, Cee-Anne, Larry and Richard, thank you all in the contributing to, probably, the last attribute that I needed to know about my 1" paperweight.
Can't recall without backlisting, but somewhere I mentioned that my brother lathe-turned this solid from a 1" cube of brass.
Well! I think I now know all of its attributes, vertices, edges, faces, volume, .....surface area ? ...
Haven't got that! Tell me if you like. I might build a big one and need to paint it!
Oh! Cee-Anne, Larry, I now have a proper name for my 'Impossible' Solid. Thanks, another grey cell in 'trivia' has its label.
