Anticube formulas


Surface (\(\small{S}\))

\(\displaystyle S = 2 \cdot (1+\sqrt{3}) \cdot a^2 \;\;\;≈ 5.4641 \cdot a^2\)

Volume (\(\small{V}\))

\(\displaystyle V =\frac{1}{3} \cdot \sqrt{(1 + \sqrt{2})} \cdot \sqrt{(2+\sqrt{2})} \cdot a^3 \;\;\;≈ 0.957 \cdot a^3\)

Height (\(\small{h}\))

\(\displaystyle h = \sqrt{1 - \frac{1}{2+\sqrt{2}}} \cdot a \;\;\;≈0.8409\cdot a\)
