Formulas
Base area times height, the rule behind every prism.
Checked: the V, S formula agrees with a Monte Carlo measurement of the shape itself, made from its geometric definition, every time the site is built.
Topology lens
Topologically a ball. Its surface has V = 8 vertices, E = 12 edges and F = 6 faces, and V − E + F = 2, as for every convex polyhedron (Euler, 1758). More on the lens.
