A tetrahedron is a pyramid with triangular base i.e. it has a base that is a triangle and each side has a triangle. All the three triangles converge to a point. As in the figure,
Area of Tetrahedron = (√3)a2
Example
The code to find the area of tetrahedron uses the math library to find the square and square-root of a number using sqrt and pow methods. For calculating the area we take a floating point and the value of the expression "((sqrt(3)*a*a))" is given to it.
#include <stdio.h> #include <math.h> int main() { int a= 5; float area, volume; printf("Program to find area and volume of Tetrahedron\n"); printf("The side of Tetrahedron is %d \n", a); area = (sqrt(3)*(a * a)); printf("The area of Tetrahedron is %f \n", area); return 0; }
Output
Program to find area and volume of Tetrahedron The side of Tetrahedron is 5 The area of Tetrahedron is 43.301270
