I found this to help me imagine the shape:
Wouldn’t that make the face on the right non-planar?
If you’re free to put the center vertex anywhere, then I’d think you could position it to avoid that…
That scutoid (possibly all of them, I don’t know) is just a pentagonal prism with a corner cut off.

Cylinder side also non-planar, yet not a problem. Paper sheet area does not change when curved.
STOP MAKING NEW SHAPES.
WE HAVE ENOUGH SHAPES.
I’m not sure.
My doctor always says that I’m out of shape, so I’m sure I should get a new one
We already have all the shapes we need. Square. Circle. Octagon. Tetrahedron. Tesseract. Penis.
That’s enough shapes.
Did you just skip Hexagons?! Hexagons are the Bestagons!
Octagons and hexagons are the same thing. It’s right there in the name. Gon. It’s okay, many people think they’re different shapes, it’s a very very common misconception.
Oh, I actually didn’t know that. Thats a really interesting fact, thanks!
Nonagon infinity opens the door.
Hey, everyone knows you need to wait for the answer to open the door.
A penis is just a fancy cylinder
And a dildo is just a penis with flair
Just go /c/dadjokes
Cybertruckoid.
SEE?
END THE MADNESS.
The Universe: fuck you, i do what i want
im playinf way too much shapez 2 atm. cool game, i recommend
Scutoid these nuts, lmao
Polygottem lmao
Any teachers here wanna weigh in on the ability of current kids’ ability to write complete sentences, let alone calculate the area of this shape?
on the ability of current kids’ ability
XD

Given enough time and known lengths, most of my students should be able to calculate the surface area of this by the time they graduate. They’d just split everything into triangles and quadrangles, use the formula for each, then add everything together. It’s not that useful of an exercise though, didactically speaking, because once you grasp that process, it’s just repetitive and lengthy. There’d have to be a LOT of given values to make this solvable, too.
On a more subjective note, they can also form sentences. They just don’t want to when colloquial speech brings the point across just as well and it’s an informal setting. The same is true for most people of all ages in my experience.
Not without chatgpt they can’t…
There’s a project for this!
Oh wow somebody did that
Looks like a bunch of triangles to me
Reticulating Splines
Scutoid is best toid!
Better than rheumatoid stuff.
What other toids are there?
It’s just a joke on the “hexagon is bestagon” saying.
I know, but I wanna know about the other toids, to see if the scutoid is really the bestoid.
Altoids
No Crtltoids or Youngtoids or sum?
Why would they change shapes!? SHAPES IS SHAPES!
honestly not even sure how i remember doing complex math in hs
I used to be pretty good at math, especially when it comes to shapes. The other day i had to calculate a triangle to order bricks, i almost lost my damn mind.
Wake up everyone, a new shape just dropped!
Wasn’t this discovered years ago?
I thought area was for 2D things, and volume is for 3D things? Or does he mean surface area?
Surface area. It’s Twitter, give people a break.
It’s Twitter, give people a break.
No. People who still use Twitter/X are already broken…
True, I should have said “lower your expectations” and just left it there.
Fair enough
Well there’s also the fact that this has more to do with biology than geometry. So this guy’s a moron on multiple levels.
3D things have both a volume and an area. Like, how much wrapping paper do you need to wrap a gift box?
Yeah, surface area!
My life now feels complete with this incredibly important piece of information.
So how would you calculate this?
You need the length of each edge. Probably some angles too. Make triangles. Double each triangle into a parallelogram. bh/2 for each one. Sum. Mostly just tedious because there are so many.
It’s only 3 pentagons, 1 hexagon, 1 triangle and 3 rectangles for a total of 20 component triangles. Easy!
Looks like a pentagon on one side and hexagon on the other, aka soccerball pattern. I would be very surprised if the volumes don’t work out close enough just approximating them with [average area of ends] x [length]
