Radius of Gyration (Rg) of the 13 Archimedean Solids


Enter the size of either the edge length (e) or the circumscribed sphere-radius (ro) or the surface area (A) or the volume (V), of the polyhedra and the values for e, ro, A, V and for the Radius of Gyration of the solid (Rgs), of the faces (Rgf), of the edges (Rge) and of the vertices (Rgv, which is equal to ro) of the13 Archimedean Solids, will be calculated. Units are arbitrary. Source of shape images: Wikipedia.

Radius of Gyration (Rg) of the 13 Archimedean Duals (Catalan Solids)


Enter the size of either the inscribed sphere-radius (ri) or the surface area (A) or the volume (V), of the polyhedra and the values for ri, A, V and for the Radius of Gyration of the solid Rg(s) and of the the faces Rg(f) (polyhedron shell) for the 13 Duals of the Archimedean Solids (Catalan Solids) will be calculated. These consist of n x polygonal faces which can be 3p trigonal (is, isosceles or sc, scalene), 4p tetragonal (rh, rhombic or dt, deltoidal) or 5p pentagonal (ir, irregular, having 2 different edge lengths). Units are arbitrary.
