MathXplosion, Ep 50: How to use a tetrahedron to solve the tree problem

  • TLF-IDM024991

How can you place four trees exactly the same distance apart from one other? By making a model! By using miniature trees to make a model of the problem, it becomes clear that a 2D solution is impossible. We learn how objects can help us visualise the problem situation, which in this case requires a 3D solution: a tetrahedron.
