    Cutting a Circle into Triangles

    If there are n points on the circumference of a "cake" and each pair of these points is joined by a line or "cut" Let Wn be the number of regions. In the attached picture W4 = 8 (points ABCD). If we add point E and join it to every other point. Consider how many regions the segment AED is split into and then triangles ABC and AB

    Find the volume of a tetrahedron and an octahedron.

    I need help writing a proof of the formulas of the volumes of two regular polyhedra (Platonic solids): (1) a tetrahedron and (2) an octahedron. I then have to use those formulas to find the volumes given a side length of 1.
