Elongated Triangular Orthobicupola - Volume

Volume

The volume of J35 can be calculated as follows:

J35 consists of 2 cupolae and hexagonal prism.

The two cupolae makes 1 cuboctahedron = 8 tetrahedra + 6 half-octahedra. 1 octahedron = 4 tetrahedra, so total we have 20 tetrahedra.

What is the volume of a tetrahedron? Construct a tetrahedron having vertices in common with alternate vertices of a cube (of side, if tetrahedron has unit edges). The 4 triangular pyramids left if the tetrahedron is removed from the cube form half an octahedron = 2 tetrahedra. So


The hexagonal prism is more straightforward. The hexagon has area, so

Finally

V_{J_{35}} = 20 V_{tetrahedron} + V_{prism} = \frac{5 \sqrt{2}}{3} + \frac{3 \sqrt{3}}{2}

Famous quotes containing the word volume:

    “I dare say I am compelled, unconsciously compelled, now to write volume after volume, as in past years I was compelled to go to sea, voyage after voyage. Leaves must follow upon each other as leagues used to follow in the days gone by, on and on to the appointed end, which, being Truth itself, is One—one for all men and for all occupations.”
    —Joseph Conrad (1857–1924)

    “There is a note in the front of the volume saying that no public reading ... may be given without first getting the author’s permission. It ought to be made much more difficult to do than that.”
    —Robert Benchley (1889–1945)

    “Bishop Berkeley destroyed this world in one volume octavo; and nothing remained, after his time, but mind; which experienced a similar fate from the hand of Hume in 1737.”
    —Sydney Smith (1771–1845)
