The square of the area of the base (i.e., the face opposite the right trihedron) of a trirectangular tetrahedron is equal to the sum of the squares of the areas of its other ...

A p-adic integer is a p-adic number of the form sum_(k=m)^(infty)a_kp^k, where m>=0, a_k are integers, and p is prime. It is sufficient to take a_k in the set {0,1,...,p-1}. ...
