Insphere Radius of Octahedron given Volume Calculator

Calculate Insphere Radius



Formula

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

\[ r_i = \left(\frac{3V}{\sqrt{2}}\right)^{\frac{1}{3}} \div \sqrt{6} \]

Where:

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 volume of an octahedron is the total quantity of three-dimensional space enclosed by the entire surface of the octahedron.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following value:

Using the formula:

\[ r_i = \left(\frac{3 \cdot 470}{\sqrt{2}}\right)^{\frac{1}{3}} \div \sqrt{6} \approx 4.0784 \, \text{meters} \]

The insphere radius is approximately 4.0784 meters.
