To find the volume of an octahedron, we can use the formula:
Volume = (1/3) * √2 * a^3
where a is the length of the edge of the octahedron.
Given that a = 4mm, we can substitute this into the formula:
Volume = (1/3) * √2 * 4^3
Volume = (1/3) * √2 * 64
Volume = (1/3) * 8√2
Volume = 8√2 / 3
Approximately, the volume of the octahedron is 9.42 cubic mm.
A crystal is in the form of a regular octahedron. The edges of the octahedron are all 4mm long. Calculate the volume of the octahedron?
