The Octahedron
The Octahedron is a regular four-sided double pyramid. Its surface consists of eight equilateral triangles and is therefore one of the five Platonic solids.
The following elements of a Octahedron are calculated if one of them is given:
- Edge a
- Apothem h1
- Altitude h2
- Circumradius ru
- Inradius ri
- Volume V
- Surface S
Example:
Given: ¯¯¯¯¯¯ Circumradius rc = 1 Results: ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Edge a = 1,4142136 Apothem h1 = 1,2247449 Altitude h2 = 2 Inradius ri = 0,57735027 Volume V = 1,3333333 Surface S = 6,9282032
