Gyroelongated Square Dipyramid Formulas


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

\(\displaystyle V= \frac{(\sqrt{2} + \sqrt{ 4 + 3 · \sqrt{2}})}{3} ·a^3\) \(\displaystyle \;\;\;\;≈ 1.4284 ·a^3\)

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

\(\displaystyle S= 4 · \sqrt{3} · a^2\;\;\;\;≈ 6.9282 ·a^2\)

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

\(\displaystyle h=\left( \sqrt{1 - \frac{1}{(2+\sqrt{2})}} + \frac{2}{\sqrt{2}} \right) · a \) \(\displaystyle \;\;\;\;≈2.255 ·a \)
