Insphere Radius of Octahedron given Circumsphere Radius Calculator

Calculate Insphere Radius



Formula

The formula to calculate the Insphere Radius of an Octahedron given its circumsphere radius is:

\[ \text{Insphere Radius} = \frac{\text{Circumsphere Radius}}{\sqrt{3}} \]

Definition

The Insphere Radius of an Octahedron is the radius of the sphere that is contained by the octahedron in such a way that all the faces are just touching the sphere. The Circumsphere Radius of an Octahedron is the radius of the sphere that contains the octahedron in such a way that all the vertices are lying on the sphere.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following value:

Using the formula:

\[ \text{Insphere Radius} = \frac{7}{\sqrt{3}} \approx 4.0415 \, \text{meters} \]

The Insphere Radius is approximately 4.0415 meters.
