Solution:

Octahedral void is formed when four atoms are in same plane and one atom is upper and lower plane.
Follow the diagram which is shown below:
Solution
From triangle $ABC:$
$\left(AB\right)^{2}=\left(AC\right)^{2}+\left(BC\right)^{2}\left(AB\right)^{2}=\left(2 R\right)^{2}+\left(2 R\right)^{2}\left(AB\right)^{2}=8R^{2}AB=2\sqrt{2}RAB=2r+2R=2\sqrt{2}R\frac{r}{R}=0.414r=0.414R$
