Radius of Gyration (Rg) of the 13 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) for the 13 Catalan Solids (duals of the
Archimedean 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 (irregular, having 2 different edge lengths). Units are arbitrary.
