A board game has dice shaped like octahedrons. Each edge of the dice has length 2 cm, and h = 2√2 cm. What is the volume of each die? Round to the nearest hundredth.

3.73cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one

This problem bothers on the mensuration of solid shapes, a octahedrons

Step two

We know that the volume expression for octahedrons is given as

Volume = √2/3(a)³

Given data

a= 2cm

Substituting our given data we have

V= √2/3(2)³

V= √2/3*8

V= 1.41/3*8

V= 0.47*8

V= 3.73cm³

The volume is 3.76cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

The question lacks the appropriate diagram. Find the diagram attached.

The triangle is a right angled triangle that is made of of three sides namely the opposite, the adjacent and the hypotenuse (the longest side). According to the diagram, the longest side is the side with length x. To get the side length x, we will use the Pythagoras theorem as shown;

hyp² = opp²+adj²

hyp² = 33²+56²

x² = 1089+3136

x² = 4225

take the square root of both sides

√x² = √4225

x = 65

Hence the unknown side length x is 65
