The Final Pathetic Bleatings of the Forum |
I humbly request the wisdom of Andrej BauerReplies:I am a math student and would like to see if you can
actually practice what you preach. So solve this question.
Let P be a pyramid with square base of side 2b and suppose
that S is a sphere with its center on the base of P and is
tangent to all eight edges of P. Find the height of P. Then
find the volume and the intersection of S and P.

Your problem is easy. The height of the pyramid is that number
which multiplied by itself gives twice as much as when b
is multiplied by itself.

I think Barbie is saying we have got half an octahedron here.

An octahedron with a ball stuck up its ass, give me a GIF, baby!

Here you go, Corey:

Wohoo! I love you, Anti Andrej. It's a big, big, ball.

If force you use, clearly volume of intersection will you see.
