Since the square has a side of 6, the diagonal measures
, therefore half of the diagonal would measure
.
The formula for the volume of a right circular cone in terms of the height and the radius of the base is:
and since there are two such cones, we need to multiply this volume by 2, hence our total volume is given by:
