2. Recall the program.
• The procedures you use for editing program contents are identical to those used
for editing manual calculations. For details, see “Making Corrections”.
• The following function keys are also useful when editing program contents.
1 (TOP) ........ Moves the cursor to the top of the program
2 (BTM) ....... Moves the cursor to the bottom of the program
Example 2
To use the OCTA program to create a program that calculates
the surface area and volume of regular tetrahedrons when the
length of one side is known
Length of One Side (A) Surface Area (S) Volume (V)
7 cm cm
2
cm

10 cm cm

15 cm cm

The following are the formulas used for calculating surface area S and volume V of a
regular tetrahedron for which the length of one side is known.
2
S =
3 A

,V = –––– A

Use the following key operations when inputting the program.
Length of One Side A .. !W[1(?)aaA[3(:)
Surface Area S ............ !9d*aAx[[2(^)
Volume V ..................... !9c/bc*aAMd
Compare this with the program for calculating the surface area and volume of a
regular octahedron.
Length of One Side A .. !W[1(?)aaA[3(:)
Surface Area S ............ c*!9d*aAx[[2(^)
Volume V ..................... !9c/d*aAMd
