- I found this problem as #1 on page 1 in a Russian geometry book.
- (Ironically, it only had answers for for what it considered
- to be the "hard" problems.)
-
- Given a cube with sides of length x, a regular tetrahedron is
- placed inside so that two of its vertices are on the cube's
- space diagonal and the other two are on one of the cube's faces.
- Find the volume of the tetrahedron with in terms of x.
