I have a tetrahedron defined by 4 points xi,yi,zi (i = 1 to 4)
To check if an arbitrary point x0,y0,z0 is inside the tetrahedron, I am taking the volume route i.e. I replace one of the points by x0,y0,z0 and obtain the volume of the tetrahedron. I say that if all the 4 computed volumes turn out to be positive, then it lies with in the tetrahedron. Is there a better way of doing this ?
