OverviewHigh Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! In mathematics, a developable surface is a surface with zero Gaussian curvature. That is, it is surface that can be flattened onto a plane without distortion (i.e. stretching or compressing ). Conversely, it is a surface which can be made by transforming a plane (i.e. folding, bending, rolling, cutting and/or gluing ). In three dimensions all developable surfaces are ruled surfaces. There are developable surfaces in R4 which are not ruled.Foormally, in mathematics, a developable surface is a surface with zero Gaussian curvature. One consequence of this is that all developable surfaces embedded in 3D-space are ruled surfaces (though hyperboloids are examples of ruled surfaces which are not developable). Because of this, many developable surfaces can be visualised as the surface formed by moving a straight line in space. For example, a cone is formed by keeping one end-point of a line fixed whilst moving the other end-point in a circle. Full Product DetailsAuthor: Lambert M. Surhone , Mariam T. Tennoe , Susan F.
