Max/Min Puzzles in Geometry IV
Abstract
In the previous paper, Max/Min Puzzles in Geometry III, we searched for the smallest area triangle which contained a regular unit polygon (Square, Pentagon, Hexagon). In this paper we will work in 3-dimensions, and search for the smallest regular Tetrahedron which contains a regular unit polyhedron (Cube, Octahedron, Icosahedron, Dodecahedron).
