| − | Let <math>P</math> be a right prism whose two bases are equilateral triangles with side length <math>2</math>. The height of <math>P</math> is <math>2\sqrt{3}</math>. Let l be the line connecting the centroids of the bases. Remove the solid, keeping only the bases. Rotate one of the bases <math>180\circ</math> about l. Let <math>T</math> be the convex hull of the two current triangles. What is the volume of <math>T</math>?
