Pentagonal Bipyramid Formulas


Volume (\(\small{V}\))

\(\displaystyle V=\frac{5 + \sqrt{5}}{12} · a^3 \;\;\;\;≈ 0.603 ·a^3\)

Surface area (\(\small{S}\))

\(\displaystyle S= \frac{5·\sqrt{3}}{2} · a^2\;\;\;\;≈ 4.33 ·a^2\)

Height (\(\small{h}\))

\(\displaystyle h= 2 · \sqrt{\frac{5 - \sqrt{5}}{ 10}} · a\;\;\;\;≈ 1.051·a\)
