Program to calculate area of a Tetrahedron

A tetrahedron is simply a pyramid with a triangular base. It is a solid object with four triangular faces, three on the sides or lateral faces, one on the bottom of the base, and four vertices or corners. If the faces are all congruent equilateral triangles, then the tetrahedron is called regular.

The area of the Tetrahedron can be found by using the formula:

Area = sqrt(3)*(side*side)

Illustration:

Input: side = 3
Output: 15.5885

Input: side = 20
Output: 692.82

Example

Output
Area of Tetrahedron =15.5885

because it is doing constant operations

Auxiliary Space: O(1)

Another approach: 

The volume of the tetrahedron can be found by using the following formula:

Volume = a3/(6√2)

Examples: 

Input: side = 3
Output: 3.18

Input: side = 20
Output: 942.81




// C++ program to find the volume of a tetrahedron
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
  
// Function to calculate volume
static double vol_tetra(int side)
{
    double volume
        = (pow(side, 3) / (6 * sqrt(2)));
    return volume;
}
  
// Driver Code
  
int main()
{
    int side = 3;
    double vol = vol_tetra(side);
    cout << vol << "\n";
    return 0;
