What is an Octahedron?
An octahedron is a polyhedron with eight faces. A regular octahedron is one of the five Platonic solids, composed of eight equilateral triangles, four of which meet at each vertex. It has 12 edges and 6 vertices.
The volume of a regular octahedron can be calculated using the formula: $$V = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{3} a^3$$, 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 game dice, showcasing their unique geometric properties.
