1. What is the Volume of Triangular Bipyramid?

The Volume of a Triangular Bipyramid represents the total three-dimensional space enclosed by the surface of the bipyramid. It is calculated based on the total surface area using a specific mathematical formula.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the formula:

\[ V = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{6} \times \left( \sqrt{\frac{TSA}{\frac{3}{2} \times \sqrt{3}}} \right)^3 \]

Where:

\( V \) — Volume of Triangular Bipyramid (m³)
\( TSA \) — Total Surface Area of Triangular Bipyramid (m²)
\( \sqrt{2} \) — Square root of 2 (approximately 1.4142)
\( \sqrt{3} \) — Square root of 3 (approximately 1.7321)

Explanation: This formula derives the volume from the total surface area by first calculating the edge length and then applying the volume formula for a triangular bipyramid.

3. Importance of Volume Calculation

Details: Calculating the volume of geometric shapes is fundamental in mathematics, engineering, and architecture. For bipyramids, volume calculation helps in material estimation, structural analysis, and spatial planning applications.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the total surface area in square meters. The value must be positive and greater than zero. The calculator will compute the corresponding volume in cubic meters.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is a Triangular Bipyramid?
A: A triangular bipyramid is a polyhedron formed by two pyramids sharing a common triangular base. It has 6 triangular faces, 5 vertices, and 9 edges.
