Problem
What is the volume of tetrahedron 
with edge lengths 
, 
, 
, 
, 
, and 
?
Solution
Drawing the tetrahedron out and testing side lengths, we realize that the triangles ABD and ABC are right triangles. It is now easy to calculate the volume of the tetrahedron using the formula for the volume of a pyramid: 
, so we have an answer of 
. ~IceWolf10
