What is the magic number?Let the width of the quasi-cube (and the length, and the height) = ww is equal to what? |
Each semi-quasi-cube is made up of four tetrahedra. Each tetrahedron has six edges.
Let the length of each edge = x. How does x relate to w? What is the magic number? (in inches) |
According to Pythagoras:
x²+x² = w²
w = (√2)x
x=length of edges | w=width of quasi-cube |
