Triakis Octahedron Formulas


Pyramid edge (\(\small{b}\))

\(\displaystyle b=(2-\sqrt{2}) ·a\) \(\displaystyle \ \ \ ≈0.5858 ·a\)

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

\(\displaystyle S=6·a^2·\sqrt{23-16·\sqrt{2}}\) \(\displaystyle \ \ \ ≈a^2 ·3.66\)

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

\(\displaystyle V=(2-\sqrt{2})·a^3\) \(\displaystyle \ \ \ ≈0.5858 ·a^3\)

Midsphere radius (\(\small{R_K}\))

\(\displaystyle R_K=\frac{a}{2}\)

Insphere radius (\(\small{R_I}\))

\(\displaystyle R_I= a·\sqrt{\frac{5+2·\sqrt{2}}{34}}\) \(\displaystyle \ \ \ ≈a ·0.48\)
