Creating and Saving a Program
Example: To create a program named “OCTA” that calculates the surface areas (cm
2
) and
volumes (cm
3
) of three regular octahedrons, the lengths of whose sides are 7, 10,
and 15 cm
The following formulas calculate the surface area S and volume V of a
regular octahedron for which the length of side A is known.
