public class Tetrahedron extends Object

Tetrahedron is an 4-sided triangular pyramid with 4 vertices, 4 triangular faces and 6 edges. A regular tetrahedron is a polyhedron assembled from 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.
