Calculator and formulas for calculating a truncated octahedron
This function calculates various properties of a truncated octahedron. A truncated octahedron is created from an octahedron 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.

Volume
\(\displaystyle V= 8· a^3 ·\sqrt{2}\)
\(\displaystyle a= \sqrt[3]{ \frac{ V }{8 ·\sqrt{2}}} \)
Surface area
\(\displaystyle S= 6 · a^2 ·(1+2· \sqrt{3})\)
\(\displaystyle a= \sqrt{ \frac{S}{6·(1+2· \sqrt{3})}} \)
Outer radius
\(\displaystyle rc=\frac{a·\sqrt{10}} {2} \)
\(\displaystyle a=\frac{2·rc}{ \sqrt{10}} \)
Midsphere radius
\(\displaystyle rm=\frac{3·a}{2}\)
\(\displaystyle a= \frac{2 ·rm}{3} \)
