Formulas for the pentagonal double pyramid


Slant height (\(\small{s}\))

\(\displaystyle s = \sqrt{h^2 + \frac{a^2 · cot^2(\frac{π}{5})}{4}} \)

Edge length (\(\small{e}\))

\(\displaystyle e =\sqrt{\frac{s^2 + a^2}{4}}\)

Total height (\(\small{i}\))

\(\displaystyle i = 2 · h \)

Slant area (\(\small{A_s}\))

\(\displaystyle A_s = \frac{a · s }{ 2} \)

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

\(\displaystyle S = 5 · a·s \)

Perimeter (\(\small{P}\))

\(\displaystyle P = 5 ·a \)

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

\(\displaystyle V = \frac{ 5 · a^2· h }{6 · tan(\frac{π}{5})} \)
