Question
Prove that the tetrahedron with vertices at the points O(0, 0, 0), A(0, 1, 1), B(1, 0, 1) and C(1, 1, 0) is a regular one.

Answer

Here, $\text{AB}=\sqrt{(0-1)^2+(1-0)^2+(1-1)^2}$ $=\sqrt{1+1}$ $=\sqrt{2}\text{ units}$ $\text{BC}=\sqrt{(1-1)^2+(0-1)^2+(1-0)^2}$ $=\sqrt{1+1}$ $=\sqrt{2}\text{ units}$ $\text{CA}=\sqrt{(1-0)^2+(1-1)^2+(0-1)^2}$ $=\sqrt{1+0+1}$ $=\sqrt{2}\text{ units}$ $\text{DA}=\sqrt{(0-0)^2+(0-1)^2+(0-1)^2}$ $=\sqrt{1+1}$ $=\sqrt{2}\text{ units}$ $\text{OB}=\sqrt{(0-1)^2+(0-0)^2+(0-1)^2}$ $=\sqrt{1+1}$ $=\sqrt{2}\text{ units}$ $\text{DA}=\sqrt{(0-1)^2+(0-1)^2+(0-0)^2}$ $=\sqrt{1+1}$ $=\sqrt{2}\text{ units}$ Since, OA = OB = OC = AB = BC = CA So, O, A, B, C represent a regular tetrahedron.
