  1. Do not ping the Moderators, unless someone is breaking the rules.
  2. Do not ping the Helper Moderators, unless there is a conflict between helpers.
  3. Do not ping other members randomly for help.
  4. Ask your question and show the work you've done so far. If you've posted a screenshot of a question, specify which part you need help with.
  5. Wait patiently for a helper to come along.
  6. If the Helper has answered your question, remember to thank them with the Mathematics Ranks bot and close the thread with:

So the base of the pyramid that was removed had an area of 1 square unit, or did the pyramid itself have a volume of one cubic unit

#

Ok first one

#

So little outline to follow

#

First, derive the formula for the area of a regular hexagon- make it in terms of the length of one side
Then, find the side length of both hexagons
After that, notice that the other 6 faces are now in the form of isosceles trapeziums- use your area formula to find the height of the trapezium, then use pythagoras to find the length of one of the non-parallel edges of the trapezium
Then finally, using your radii lengths of the top and bottom hexagons and the slant length, use similarity of triangles
