Bicone
3D shape obtained by revolving a rhombus about one of its axes of symmetry
In geometry, a bicone or dicone (from Latin: bi-, and Greek: di-, both meaning "two") is the three-dimensional surface of revolution of a rhombus around one of its axes of symmetry. Equivalently, a bicone is the surface created by joining two congruent, right, circular cones at their bases.
A bicone has circular symmetry and orthogonal bilateral symmetry.
Geometry
For a circular bicone with radius R and height center-to-top H, the formula for volume becomes
For a right circular cone, the surface area is
- where is the slant height.
