Max/Min Puzzles in Geometry IV

History and Overview 2025-05-08 v1

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).
