Example 1 To calculate the surface area (cm
2
) and volume (cm
3
) of three regular
octahedrons when the length of one side is 7, 10, and 15 cm,
respectively
Store the calculation formula under the file name OCTA.

The following are the formulas used for calculating surface area S
and volume V of a regular octahedron for which the length of one side
A is known.

Pressing w while the final result of a program
is on the display changes to the program list.
#You can also run a program while in the RUN
•
MAT mode by inputting: Prog ”<file name>” w.
# Pressing w while the final result of a program
executed using this method is on the display
re-executes the program.
# An error occurs if the program specified by Prog
”<file name>” cannot be found.
