  • Answer

In the accompanying figure, the outer square SS has side length 4040. A second square S′S' of side length 1515 is constructed inside SS with the same center as SS and with sides parallel to those of SS. From each midpoint of a side of SS, segments are drawn to the two closest vertices of S′S'. The result is a four-pointed starlike figure inscribed in SS. The star figure is cut out and then folded to form a pyramid with base S′S'. Find the volume of this pyramid.
