Truncated Cube

Calculator and formulas for calculating a truncated cube


This function calculates various properties of a truncated cube. A truncated hexahedron is created from a cube where the corners are cut off in such a way that all edges are the same length.

To perform the calculation, select the property you know and enter its value. Then click on the 'Calculate' button.

Truncated Cube Formulas


Volume \(\small{V}\)

\(\displaystyle V=\frac{a^3 ·(21+14* \sqrt{2})}{3}\)

Surface \(\small{S}\)

\(\displaystyle S= 2 · a^2 ·(6+6· \sqrt{2} +\sqrt{3})\)

Height \(\small{h}\)

\(\displaystyle h=a·( 1+ \sqrt{2})\)

Outer radius \(\small{r_c}\)

\(\displaystyle r_c=\frac{a·\sqrt{7+4· \sqrt{2}}} {2} \)

Midsphere radius\(\small{r_m}\)

\(\displaystyle r_m=\frac{a·(2+ \sqrt{2})}{2}\)

Edge length \(\small{a}\)

\(\displaystyle a= \sqrt[3]{ \frac{3 · V }{21 + 14 ·\sqrt{2}}} \)

\(\displaystyle a= \sqrt{ \frac{S}{2 ·(6+6· \sqrt{2} +\sqrt{3})}} \)

\(\displaystyle a= \frac{h}{1+ \sqrt{2} } \)

\(\displaystyle a=\frac{2·r_c}{\sqrt{7+4 · \sqrt{2}}} \)

\(\displaystyle a= \frac{2 ·r_m}{2+ \sqrt{2} } \)
