Geometry
Equations
- Assumption: Octahedron is centered at the origin.
- Variables:
l ⇒ length of edges of the octahedron
- The hypervolumes of a octahedron are given by:
total edge length = 12l
surface area = 2sqrt(3)l2
volume = sqrt(3)-1l3
- The planar cross-sections (n) of an octahedron are:
- when oriented such that the vertices are points on the Cartesian axes:
[!x, !y, !z] ⇒ square of side (sqrt(2)-1l-abs(n)) rotated by 45°
