Vtetrahedron = a3√2 / 12
Vcorner = (a/2)3√2 / 12
Voctahedron = Vtetrrahedron - 3 Vcorner
Pippi A.
asked 04/10/21You are given a regular tetrahedron, T with side length 2a. At each corner, slice off a regular tetrahedron of side length a. What is left is an octahedron, P with side lengths a. Use this dissection to determine the volume of P in terms of a.
