About Octahedron Volume
An octahedron is a polyhedron with eight faces, twelve edges, and six vertices. A regular octahedron is one of the five Platonic solids, formed by eight equilateral triangles, with four meeting at each vertex. The volume of a regular octahedron can be calculated using the formula V = (√2/3) * a³, where 'a' is the length of an edge. This calculator helps you quickly find the volume by simply inputting the edge length. Octahedrons appear in various fields, from crystallography to geometry, making understanding their properties essential.
