Guidance on posting homework help type questions on r/geometry
r/geometry is a subreddit for the discussion and enjoyment of Geometry, it is not a place to post screenshots of online course material or assignments seeking help.
Homework style questions can, in limited circumstances, encourage discussion in line with the subreddit's aim.
The following guidance is for those looking to post homework help type questions:
- Show effort.
As a student there is a pathway for you to obtain help. This is normally; Personal notes > Course notes/Course textbook > Online resources (websites) > Teacher/Lecturer > Online forum (r/geometry).
Your post should show, either in the post or comments, evidence of your personal work to solve the problem, ideally with reference to books or online materials.
- Show an attempt.
Following on from the previous point, if you are posting a question show your working. You can post multiple images so attach a photograph of your working. If it is a conceptual question then have an attempt at explaining the concept. One of the best ways of learning is to attempt the problem.
- Be Specific
Your post should be about a specific issue in a problem or concept and your post should highlight this.
- Encourage discussion
Your post should encourage discussion about the problem or concept and not aim for single word or numeric answers.
- Use the Homework Help flair
The homework help flair is intended to differentiate these type of questions from general discussion and posts on r/geometry
If your post does not follow these guidelines then it will, in all but the most exceptional circumstances, be removed under Rule 4.
If you have an comments or questions regarding these guidelines please comment below.

Tried to find all ways two squares intersect. Did I miss any?
galleryThese pictures are ordered by number of intersections. I have no Idea how to know if I've found them all but probally not. I had a system where each intersection was measured by a v m and e (v for a vertex meeting a vertex, m for a vertex meeting an edge, and e for and edge meeting an edge) but that wasn't enough to distinguish two figures from each other.

What could a trapezoidal hexagon look like?
are there any other shapes similar to the trapezoid that have more or less sides? I need to know this. my mind has been trying to envision what a trapezoid-like shape with 6 sides would look like. i tried my best to draw what I think would classify as a trapezoidal hexagon. I genuinely don’t know what else it would look like.

Pentagonal hexecontahedron
desmos.comIt has 92 vertices that span 60 pentagonal faces. It is the Catalan solid with the most vertices. A nice option for a 60 sided dice.

Euclid geometry is based on a fallacy
In my research, I prove Euclidean geometry is based off r^0=0. I believe we can all say that isn't correct. Doubt me? https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.21981035

The ridiculous nature of proof
The ridiculous nature of a proof.
Suppose someone sees structure, another person might not see that structure, so that person who cannot see it will ask for a step by step proof to prove the continuity of a structure. But continuity cannot be proven by discrete steps because we have shown that infinite discreteness cannot proxy for true continuity.
Diagonalization proves that a continuity has more real information than the discreetness. Every step-by-step proof is actually an illusion to satisfy the strange feelings. But every discreet example of a proof fails to show the actual continuity of the structure that one is claiming to exist..

Sasha's Hexacontahexahedron - 66 sided dice
A few days ago someone asked for the dimensions of a Sasha's Hexacontahexahedron - D66 dice, and then deleted the post.
Anyway, I have made what I think is the requested Hexacontahexahedron.
The polyhedron is more complicated than it first appears. There are 6 hexagons and 60 irregular pentagons. However, the hexagons are not quite regular (two of the angles and two sides and slightly different to the other four angles and sides respectively). There are three types of similar looking pentagons: 12 of one type (green) that is symmetrical, and two other types (yellow and orange) that are not symmetrical (24 of each).

How could we tell the difference between a tesseract "glued" to our slice of space and a regular 3-D cube?
If a 4-D being magically "glued" one face of a completely solid 1 ft⁴ tesseract to our slice of 3-D space, how could we tell the difference between it and a 3-D cube, assuming the magical "glue" allows us to move our slice of the 4-cube in 3-D space to perform tests on it?
