A tetrahedron is a special case of a pyramid where the base is a triangle.
Equations
- Variables:
l ⇒ length of edges of tetrahedron
- All points (x, y, z) that lie on the surface of a tetrahedron will satisfy the following equations:
Unknown
- All points (x, y, z) that lie on the edges of a tetrahedron will satisfy the following equations:
Unknown
- The hypervolumes of a tetrahedron are given by:
total edge length = 6l
surface area = sqrt(3)l2
volume = 12-1sqrt(2)l3
- The perpendicular height h of a tetrahedron is given by:
h = 3-1sqrt(6)l
