A regular tetrahedron is one of the five Platonic solids, consisting of four equilateral triangular faces. It is the simplest and most symmetric 3D shape with flat faces.
Formule
V = a³/(6√2); SA = √3 a²; h = a√(2/3)
- a
- edge length (length)
- V
- volume (length³)
- SA
- surface area (length²)
- h
- height (length)
Stapsgewijze handleiding
- 1Volume = a³/(6√2)
- 2Surface area = √3 × a²
- 3Height h = a√(2/3)
- 4Edge length a determines all dimensions
