Random information on the term “BASE”:
In geometry, a base is a side of a polygon or a face of a polyhedron, particularly one oriented perpendicular to the direction in which height is measured, or on what is considered to be the “bottom” of the figure. This term is commonly applied to triangles, parallelograms, trapezoids, cylinders, cones, pyramids, parallelepipeds and frustums.
Bases are commonly used (together with heights) to calculate the areas and volumes of figures. In speaking about these processes, the measure (length or area) of a figure’s base is often referred to as its “base.”
By this usage, the area of a parallelogram or the volume of a prism or cylinder can be calculated by multiplying its “base” by its height; likewise, the areas of triangles and the volumes of cones and pyramids are fractions of the products of their bases and heights. Some figures have two parallel bases (such as trapezoids and frustums), both of which are used to calculate the extent of the figures.
The extended base of a triangle (a particular case of an extended side) is the line that contains the base. The extended base is important in the context of obtuse triangles: the altitudes from the acute vertices are external to the triangle and perpendicularly intersect the extended opposite base (but not the base proper).
Random information on the term “SENTRY”:
Sentry is a short story written by Fredric Brown in 1954. It is considered a classic of science fiction and has appeared in numerous anthologies.
The protagonist is a soldier involved in an interplanetary war against an alien species, the only other intelligent race in the galaxy, which is located on a remote planet, fifty thousand light years from home. He is overseeing his position in the trenches and suffers for the distance, for the hostile environment (he is soaked, covered in mud and can hardly move because gravity is twice that of his planet) and for the privations caused by the war. Suddenly an unexpected sound puts him on alert: an enemy attempts to get close, but the soldier sees him, takes aim, fires and kills him.
The story is narrated in order to push the reader to identify with the protagonist. In the last phrase, however, the plot takes a twist, in a surprise ending that makes the reader reconsider the whole narrative.
It is a very short story (less than one page), according to what is one of the most typical narrative formats of the author, and is based on a very simple idea. Despite this, one of the qualities recognized in this story is the fact of being representative of one aspect often considered fundamental in the science fiction genre, the ability to compel the readers to question their own prejudices, using the fantastic to present an unusual view of reality.
