Question

What is the formula of finding the area and volune of cuboctahedron??? Fast pls....

Answer 1

Area If a is the length of the edge of the cuboctahedron, the surface ist O=6*a²+8*(1/4)sqrt(3)a²=[6+2sqrt(3)]a². You use the area formulas A=(1/4)sqrt(3)a² of the equilateral triangle and A=a² of the square. Volume The producing cube has the edge length sqrt(2)a. Subtract the volumes of the eight triangle pyramids from the volume of the producing cube. Volume of the pyramid The formula is V=base*height/3. The triangle in front is chosen as the base. There is V'=(a²/4)*[(1/2)sqrt(2)a]/3=(1/24)sqrt(2)a³. Thus the volume of the cuboctahedron is V=2sqrt(2)a³-8V' = 2sqrt(2)a³-8(1/24)sqrt(2)a³ = (5/3)sqrt(2)a³.

Answer 2

The formula is V=base*height/3. The triangle in front is chosen as the base.  There is V'=(a²/4)*[(1/2)sqrt(2)a]/3=(1/24)sqrt(2)a³.Thus the volume of the cuboctahedron is V=2sqrt(2)a³-8V' = 2sqrt(2)a³-8(1/24)sqrt(2)a³ = (5/3)sqrt(2)a³. 

Area  
If a is the length of the edge of the cuboctahedron, the surface ist O=6*a²+8*(1/4)sqrt(3)a²=[6+2sqrt(3)]a².  
You use the area formulas A=(1/4)sqrt(3)a² of the equilateral triangle and A=a² of the square. 

AREA = (6+2√3)a²
VOLUME = 5/3√2a³
