Question from Carla, a student: Hi guys, |
Carla,
You can use the technique that Janice and I showed you for for your earlier questions involving a pyramid. The extra complication for a regular tetrahedron is that you need to find the point on the base, directly below the apex of the tetrahedron. You can do this using the fact that the base is an equilateral triangle.
