Formulas for triakis octahedron


Pyramid edge \(\displaystyle b=(2-\sqrt{2}) ·a\)      \(\displaystyle ≈0.5858 ·a\)
Surface \(\displaystyle A=6·a^2·\sqrt{23-16·\sqrt{2}}\)     \(\displaystyle ≈a^2 ·3.66\)
Volume \(\displaystyle V=(2-\sqrt{2})·a^3\)      \(\displaystyle ≈0.5858 ·a^3\)
Midsphere radius \(\displaystyle R_K=\frac{a}{2}\)
Insphere radius \(\displaystyle R_I= a·\sqrt{\frac{5+2·\sqrt{2}}{34}}\)      \(\displaystyle ≈a ·0.48\)
