I would like you to make an figure and movie of a tetrahedron like the one shown at

upper right here:

It has 3 sides of equal length, which converge at the trirectangular "corner."  Opposite of
the corner is a face that forms an equilateral triangle.  I would like for you to draw 3 lines
within that triangle so as to "tessalate it" into 4 smaller equilateral triangles.  Color the
triangle in the center red.  It represents the state space of possible triangles, given that
the 3 sides (referred to above) represent squared distances that sum to a constant.

 It should be an isosceles trirectangular tetrahedron, not regular. There will be a regular
tetrahedron within it, but only the equilateral face opposite the trirectangular corner
should be distinguished (in red, for example). Another way to say it is that there is a
cube that has been cut in half diagonally, so that the plane of the cut forms an
equilateral triangle.  Tesselate that into 4 smaller equilateral triangles, with the one in
the center marked in red.

I plan to use this figure and gif for presentations.  I would also like to have it just to
visualize, for the sake of my visual imagination.  For that I would like a file that allows
me to rotate it through three dimensions (maybe a gif file.  Here I would like still images,
from different angles, and a movie.  I would prefer to be able to control rotation, but that
is not essential if I can pause the movie at nearly any angle.
