Prove that the tetrahedron with vertices at the points O(0, 0, 0), A(0, 1, 1), B(1, 0, 1) and C(1, 1, 0) is a regular one.

A regular tetrahedron is that in which the faces are equilateral triangles .


Take triangle OAB 
So OA = (0-0)2 +(0-1)2+(0-1)2=2 
OB = 2
AB = 2
Hence this face is equilateral .

Similarly take other faces, you will get all faces as equilateral triangles .
Hence the tetrahedron is regular
