Question:
Each edge of a regular tetrahedron is 4 cm. Its volume (in cubic cm) is –
Options:
A) \(\cfrac{16 \sqrt{3}}{3}\) cm3
B) 16 \(\sqrt{3}\) cm3 
C) \(\cfrac{16 \sqrt{2}}{3}\) cm3
D) 16 \(\sqrt{2}\) cm3
Solution:
Ans: (c) 

volume  of the regular tetrahedron

= \({\sqrt{2} \over 12}\)a3 

= \(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{12}\) × 4 × 4 × 4cm3 

= \(\cfrac{16 \sqrt{2}}{3}\)  cm3

Dear Student,

Volume of regular tetrahedron,

V=a^3 / 6 root 2

Put a = 4

You will get the same answer.

Hope you have a great learning with us!!

All the Best,
