This calculator determines the volume of a regular tetrahedron given its edge length. It's ideal for students, educators, and professionals in the field of geometry.
All calculations are based on standard geometric formulas. For further study, refer to this authoritative source.
All calculations rely on the formula provided above.
For an edge length of 3 units, the volume is calculated as follows:
\( V = \frac{3^3 \sqrt{2}}{12} \approx 3.18 \) cubic units.
A regular tetrahedron is a three-dimensional shape with four equilateral triangular faces, six equal edges, and four vertices.
The volume is calculated using the formula \( V = \frac{a^3 \sqrt{2}}{12} \), where \( a \) is the length of an edge.
No, this calculator is specifically designed for regular tetrahedrons with equal edge lengths.
The edge length can be in any unit, but the resulting volume will be in cubic units of the same measure.
A tetrahedron and a cube are different shapes with distinct geometric properties, leading to different volume formulas.
