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
got it ill try it out rn
