3.73cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one

This problem bothers on the mensuration of solid shapes, a octahedrons

Step two

We know that the volume expression for octahedrons is given as

Volume = √2/3 (a) ³

Given data

a = 2cm

Substituting our given data we have

V = √2/3 (2) ³

V = √2/3*8

V = 1.41/3*8

V = 0.47*8

V = 3.73cm³

The volume is 3.76cm³
