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}

numerical value:

Famous quotes containing the word volume:

    A big leather-bound volume makes an ideal razorstrap. A thin book is useful to stick under a table with a broken caster to steady it. A large, flat atlas can be used to cover a window with a broken pane. And a thick, old-fashioned heavy book with a clasp is the finest thing in the world to throw at a noisy cat.
    Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    We are too civil to books. For a few golden sentences we will turn over and actually read a volume of four or five hundred pages.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    She carries a book but it is not
    the tome of the ancient wisdom,
    the pages, I imagine, are the blank pages
    of the unwritten volume of the new.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
