Tetrad (geometry puzzle)

In geometry, a tetrad is a set of four simply connected disjoint planar regions in the plane, each pair sharing a finite portion of common boundary. It was named by Michael R. W. Buckley in 1975 in the Journal of Recreational Mathematics. A further question was proposed that became a puzzle, whether the 4 regions could be congruent, with or without holes, other enclosed regions. (Wikipedia).

How to construct a Tetrahedron

How the greeks constructed the first platonic solid: the regular tetrahedron. Source: Euclids Elements Book 13, Proposition 13. In geometry, a tetrahedron also known as a triangular pyramid, is a polyhedron composed of four triangular faces, six straight edges, and four vertex corners. Th

Three dimensional geometry, ZOME, and the elusive tetrahedron

Lectures notes at http://www.maths.unsw.edu.au/seminars/2012-07/three-dimensional-geometry-zome-and-elusive-tetrahedron. The geometry of three dimensional space, despite its obvious importance, is a sadly neglected topic in modern mathematics. One of the reasons is that the topic is rather

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?
