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:

    F.R. Leavis’s “eat up your broccoli” approach to fiction emphasises this junkfood/wholefood dichotomy. If reading a novel—for the eighteenth century reader, the most frivolous of diversions—did not, by the middle of the twentieth century, make you a better person in some way, then you might as well flush the offending volume down the toilet, which was by far the best place for the undigested excreta of dubious nourishment.
    Angela Carter (1940–1992)

    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)

    Although volume upon volume is written to prove slavery a very good thing, we never hear of the man who wishes to take the good of it, by being a slave himself.
    Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
