Insphere Radius of Octahedron given Space Diagonal Calculator

Calculate Insphere Radius



Formula

The formula to calculate the insphere radius of an octahedron given its space diagonal is:

\[ \text{Insphere Radius} = \frac{\text{Space Diagonal}}{2 \cdot \sqrt{3}} \]

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.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following value:

Using the formula:

\[ \text{Insphere Radius} = \frac{14}{2 \cdot \sqrt{3}} \approx 4.0415 \, \text{meters} \]

The insphere radius is approximately 4.0415 meters.
