35.When a liquid freezes, it changes into a mass of solid bodies, each of which
has a definite
geometric form and is known as a crystal. Crystals are always bounded by
plane surfaces, which are arranged in an orderly fashion with reference to
imaginary lines drawn through the crystal and called its area. Every crystal
has therefore a definite geometric form. Compare the volumes of crystals,
one in the shape of a hexagonal right prism 'a' units on a side and '2a' units
 in altitude, and the other in the shape of two oppositely directed hexagonal
regular pyramids, each 'a' units high with a common base 'a' units on a side.
