public class Tetrahedron
extends Object

Tetrahedron is an 8-sided pyramidal polyhedron with 4 vertices, 4 triangular faces and 6 edges. A regular tetrahedron contains equilateral triangles and is a Platonic solid. Tetrahedron is the simplest of all the ordinary convex polyhedra and the only one that has fewer than 5 faces. Tetrahedron is also known as a triangular pyramid.
