Tetrahedron in Cube
Cube and tetrahedron are intimately related. Picking every other vertex of a cube so that no two are joined by an edges but any pair is joined by a diagonal of the cube's face one gets a regular tetrahedron. All edges of that shape are equal and, for that reason, all face angles are 60°.

Drag the mouse to rotate the cube. Use the right button to remove and put back individual faces.
