The Height of a Tetrahedron calculator computes the height of a tetrahedron based on the length of a side (a).     Regular Tetrahedron

INSTRUCTIONS: Choose units and enter the following:

• (a)  This is the length of an edge

Tetrahedron Height (h): The calculator returns the height (h) in meters.  However, this can be automatically converted to other length units via the pull-down menu.

The Math

A regular tetrahedron is a three dimensional shape with four vertices and four faces.  The lengths of all the edges are the same making all of the faces equilateral triangles.

The formula for the Height of a Tetrahedron is:

• `h = sqrt(2/3) * a`

where:-

• h = height from the center of any face to the opposite apex (vertex).
• a = length of any edge. They are all the same.
