Construction of Tetrahedron
December 19, 2011
The tetrahedron is a platonic solid with four equal triangular faces (equilateral), six equal edges, and four vertices. In the construction of a tetrahedron, we will look closer at length transfers using compass-like tools in two- and three-dimensional space. To define the edge length of the first triangle, start with any two points in Cartesian space. Using a compass (arc or circle), draw two arches (or circles) using your initial points as corners and the distance between your points as…
