In geometry, a tetrahedron (plural: tetrahedra or tetrahedrons), also known as a triangular pyramid, is a polyhedron composed of four triangular faces, six straight edges, and four vertex corners. The tetrahedron is the simplest of all the ordinary convex polyhedra and the only one that has fewer than 5 faces. The tetrahedron is the three-dimensional case of the more general concept of a Euclidean simplex, and may thus also be called a 3-simplex. The tetrahedron is one kind of pyramid, which is a polyhedron with a flat polygon base and triangular faces connecting the base to a common point. In the case of a tetrahedron the base is a triangle (any of the four faces can be considered the base), so a tetrahedron is also known as a "triangular pyramid". Like all convex polyhedra, a tetrahedron can be folded from a single sheet of paper. It has two such nets. For any tetrahedron there exists a sphere (called the circumsphere) on which all four vertices lie, and another sphere (the insphere) tangent to the tetrahedron's faces. (Wikipedia).

The geometry of the regular tetrahedron | Universal Hyperbolic Geometry 45 | NJ Wildberger
We look at the geometry of the regular tetrahedron, from the point of view of rational trigonometry. In particular we re-evaluate an important angle for chemists formed by the bonds in a methane molecule, and obtain an interesting rational spread instead. Video Content: 00:00 Introduction

Do tetrahedrons tessellate space? #Shorts
Tessellate is when you fit together closely shapes without gaps or overlapping. Squares can tessellate a plane. Cubes can tessellate a space. Regular Triangles can tessellate a plane. Do regular tetrahedrons tessellate space?
