Volume of a bipyramid (base regular n-sided polygon)
Description
An n-gonal bipyramid or dipyramid is a polyhedron formed by joining an n-gonal
pyramid and its mirror image base-to-base.
The volume of a bipyramid whose base is a regular n-sided polygon can be calculated by the length of the side of the base and the the height from the base to the apex.
Variables
| V | The volume of the bipyramid (m3) |
| n | Number of the sides of the base (dimensionless) |
| h | The height from the base to the apex. (m) |
| s | The length of the side of the base (m) |
| π | pi |
