Question 578088: Hello tutors,
I am currently working on a Math project, and am on the final instruction. I have had to design a building structure, with office blocks (2.5 m in height) in the building (so each floor is 2.5 m in height). Now the final task is to find the volume of wasted space of the structure (shown in the link below, the wasted space are the triagles by the office blocks).
The equation of the outer curve (that the structure is based on) is:

I have asked my math teacher and he has told me there's an equation to work out the length of each individual floor. If I known how to find the length of each floor I'd know how to be able to find the volume afterwards. I have included a second image of just a single floor if this in any way helps.

Thank you very much! :)
