Tetrahedron ‒ Vertices

by STEAM3D

Description

A regular tetrahedron is a three-dimensional shape composed of four identical equilateral triangles and four vertices. It is classified as a regular triangular pyramid. Interestingly, the distance between any two vertices of a regular tetrahedron is the same, unlike other Platonic solids. According to Plato, the tetrahedron symbolizes fire.



**Mathematical formulas**:



Volume of a tetrahedron:

V = (a³ ∙ √2) ∕ 12



Surface area of a tetrahedron:

A = a² ∙ √3
