A ZOMETOOL MODEL OF A TETRAHEDRON

Here we show a zometool model of a tetrahedron, one of the five Platonic solids. For the model you need

  • 4 balls,
  • 6 long green (g2) struts.

Of course one can scale down the model to g1 (medium size) or to g0 (mini version).

The pictures below were taken by Eva-Maria Gassner.


The tetrahedron consists of 4 vertices, 6 edges and 4 triangular faces. Its vertex figure is a regular triangle.
