¶ Tetrahedron
Index Entry
Tetrahedron:
“When we use the term ‘regular’ tetrahedron we mean all six of its edges are approximately equal in length.”
“The tetrahedron is one of Plato’s ‘solids.’ The Greeks tried hard to employ the regular, i.e., equi-edged, tetrahedra to ‘fill all space’ but failed to find a way and gave it up.”
