Question 1: Surface Area of a Sphere with a Tetrahedron Inscribed
Question:
A regular tetrahedron with edge length √2 is inscribed in a sphere. What is the surface area of the sphere?



Step 1: Understand the Parabola

Step 2: Apply the Line Condition
Since the line passes through the focus, plug the focus coordinates into the line equation:

Step 3: Find the Focus and Parabola
Now that p = 4p:
