Formula: Octahedron (Polyhedron) Area
$$A ~=~ 2 \sqrt{3} \, a^2$$
$$A ~=~ 2 \sqrt{3} \, a^2$$
$$a ~=~ \sqrt{ \frac{A}{2\sqrt{3}} }$$
Area
$$ A $$ Unit $$ \mathrm{m}^2 $$
Surface area of an octahedron consisting of eight triangular faces and having six vertices. The prefactor is approximately: \( 2 \sqrt{3} ~\approx~ 3.46\).
Side length
$$ a $$ Unit $$ \mathrm{m} $$
Length of one side of an octahedron. Since it is a regular polyhedron, all edges are of equal length.
