Six-Piece Dissection of a Tetrahedron into Its Mirror Image
![]() Juel's dissection uses the inscribed sphere while Gerling's dissection uses the circumscribed sphere. The vertices of a piece of Juel's are two vertices of the tetrahedron, the center of the inscribed sphere and its orthogonal projection on a face (the point of tangency). Jessen combined two such pieces into a symmetrical hexahedron with triangular faces (Frederickson 2002, 230-232). G. N.
