Hey guys, need some help with some maths:

A solid with an isosceles triangular base of side lengths 12, 15 and 15 has cross sections parallel to one of the two equal length sides that are equilateral triangles. Find the volume of the solid.

And go!

right, because amateur conversations about parallel universes, the latest special on the Science channel, and memes with Neil DeGrasse Tyson and Carl Sagan are so much more edifying than answering questions.

Grow up and stop this whole holier than thou shit. It's the internet, no one gives a shit.

Congrats on being the only true dicks I've come across on the entire 4Chan site. At least the tards and spartans are funny.

>> No.5041583 [DELETED] 

>>5041577
of course it makes sense.
u dumb, nigga?
i said the side lengths are 15, 12, and then another 15, and there's cross sections that run parallel to either one of the sides that is 15 in length (doesnt matter which) and those are equilateral triangles (as opposed to the first one, which is only isosceles)

whats not to understand?
i just need to know the volume of the full shape that it makes
thanks

janitors can delete threads like this. if we had enough to be here 24/7, this thread would not still be here.
