Summary
| Description |
English: The first n odd integers viewed on a tetrahedron give a proof without words that their sum is n². The animation shows a 3D view of a tetrahedron which when rotated gives two representations of the same number : either stacked rows of consecutive odd numbers of dots 1, 3, 5,... or a square array of n² dots. |
