Textbook Question
Chapter 9.5, Problem 36E
Rubik’s Tetrahedron Rubik’s Cube, a puzzle craze of the 1980s that remains popular to this day, inspired many similar puzzles. The one illustrated in the figure is called Rubik’s Tetrahedron; it is in the shape of a regular tetrahedron, with each edge
- (a) Use the triple product to find the volume of Rubik’s Tetrahedron. [Hint: See Exercise 50 in Section 9.4, which gives the corners of a tetrahedron that has the same shape and size as Rubik’s Tetrahedron.]
- (b) Construct six identical regular tetrahedra using modeling clay. Experiment to see how they can be put together to create a parallelepiped that is determined by three edges of one of the tetrahedra (thus confirming the above statement about the volume of a regular tetrahedron).
