I know I'm not using correct terminology here, so please bear with me and correct as needed.
This shows an example of a 3-dimensional solid (the boat) assembled from flat panels. Given the solid, how may I find the shapes of the panels? In other words, assume for argument that each of four "sides" of a panel is defined by function f_1(x)(a>x>b),f_2(x)(c>x>d),f_3(x)(e>x>f),f_4(x)(g>x>h). Can I find the functions and regions?
I know in calculus there is such a thing as a surface of revolution, but that returns a numerical area, not a geometric shape.
