Description
Connect to VES175: Design Science assignment: Deconstructing the Tetrahedron
"A) Build a regular tetrahedron and find the mirror plane(s), Slice the tetrahedron into two halves along this plane and build each half. B) Make a more general tetrahedron out of a parallelogram. What axes of symmetry do you find? Are there mirror planes? Can you divide this tetrahedron into two halves? Can you divide this tetrahedron into four pieces? What about eight pieces? Explore these subdivisions by creating models of your deconstructed explorations."
