A regular tetrahedron is centered at the origin with vertices $ (0,0,1$) and $(a,0,b)$. All of its vertices satisfy $x^2+y^2+z^2=1$
Find the remaining two vertices with respect to $a$ and $b$.
 A: To solve everything from scratch will result in a too long answer,
so we assume these important properties to be known:

*The tetraeder in the task has the internal arm length $1$, meaning
the distance from origin to top vertex. Then the edge length between
two vertices is $L=2\sqrt{2/3}$.
(This corresponds to a cube length $s=2/\sqrt{3}$ in the above image)

*The internal angle between two arms is $\theta\approx 109^0$ with
$\arccos \theta = -1/3$.
(This is only used to check the following results)


For the second vertex $Q=(a,0,b)$ we have the constraints that it lies on the unit sphere around the origin and on the sphere around $P=(0,0,1)$ of radius $L$.
\begin{align}
1 &= x^2 + y^2 + z^2 \\
L^2 &= x^2 + y^2 + (z-1)^2
\end{align}
The intersection is the circle at height
$$
L^2 = 2-2 z \iff z = 1 - L^2/2 = 1-4/3 = -1/3
$$
with the equation
$$
x^2+y^2=1-1/9=(2\sqrt{2}/3)^2 \quad (*)
$$
which has radius $r = 2 \sqrt{2}/3$.

Image 2: Unit sphere constraint (red), $L$ sphere constraint (green). plane constraints $z=-1/3$ and $y = 0$.
Cut with the plane $y=0$ this leaves two choices:
$$
Q=\left( \pm2\sqrt{2}/3,0,-1/3 \right)
$$
Note that we can pick only one of these solutions and not both as feasible vertices, as the angle between them is not $\theta$. 
We continue with the positive choice $Q_1$.
The constraints for $P$ and $A$ again lead to two choices for the third vertex $R$:

The intersection of unit sphere and $L$ sphere of $Q$
$$
1 = x^2 + y^2 +z^2 \\
L^2 = (x-2\sqrt{2}/3)^2 + y^2 + (z+1/3)^2
$$
gives
$$
L^2 = 8/3 = 1 -(4\sqrt{2}/3)x + 8/9 + (2/3)z + 1/9 \iff \\
1 = - 2\sqrt{2}x + z
$$
as equation of the plane where the intersection circle lies in.
Intersecting this plane with circle $(*)$ we get the equations
$$
1 = -2\sqrt{2} x -1/3 \iff
x = -\sqrt{2}/3
$$
and
$$
8/9 = 2/9 + y^2 \iff y = \pm \sqrt{6}/3
$$
which gives two feasible vertices
$$
R = (-\sqrt{2}/3, \pm \sqrt{6}/3, -1/3)
$$
It turns out that these are the remaing two vertices we are looking for.

Summary:
We found two tetraeder that fit the task.
$$
\begin{array}{l}
P = \left( 0, 0, 1 \right) \\
Q_1 = \left( 2\sqrt{2}/3,0,-1/3 \right) \\
R_! = \left( -\sqrt{2}/3, \sqrt{6}/3, -1/3 \right) \\
R_2 = \left( -\sqrt{2}/3, -\sqrt{6}/3, -1/3 \right)
\end{array}
\quad\quad
\begin{array}{l}
P = \left( 0, 0, 1 \right) \\
Q_2 = \left( -2\sqrt{2}/3,0,-1/3 \right) \\
R_3 = \left( \sqrt{2}/3, \sqrt{6}/3, -1/3 \right) \\
R_4 = \left( \sqrt{2}/3, -\sqrt{6}/3, -1/3 \right)

A: Let $c=\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{3}$, $d=\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{3}}$
With these notations, the solution is: 
$A_1(0,0,1)$ (given), $A_2(2c,0,-1/3)$, $A_3(-c,d,-1/3)$ and $A_4(-c,-d,-1/3)$
The way I have done it: 
1) As the center of mass is necessarily the origin, knowing that a regular tetrahedron has its center of mass at the $1/4$ of its height, points $A_2, A_3, A_4$ constituting the (horizontal) base of the tetrahedron must all have their $z$ coordinate equal to -1/3.
In particular $b=-1/3$.
2) Obtaining $a$: because of the sphere constraint $a^2+0^2+(1/3)^2=1$, we have $a=2c$.
3) Obtaining edge length (squared) : Knowing now the coordinates $A_1$ and $A_2$, the value of the square of the length of any edge is $(A_1A_2)^2=8/3$.
4) Let $A_3=(e,f,-1/3)$ and $A_4(g,h,-1/3)$. Then "sphere constraints" give 
$e^2+f^2+1/9=1 \ \ (1)$ and $g^2+h^2+1/9=1 \ \ (2)$. 
5) Edge lengths constraints (as seen before) i.e., $(A_1A_3)^2=8/3$ and $(A_1A_4)^2=8/3$ give equations $(e-1)^2+f^2+1/9=8/3  \ \ (3)$ and $(g-1)^2+h^2+1/9=8/3 \ \ (4)$.
6) Using equations (1), (2), (3), (4) the four unknowns $e,f,g,h$ are easily obtained.
Remark: if you know rotation matrices, after items 1) and 2) one can proceed to a computation that applies the following rotation matrix (axis $0z$, angle $2 \pi/3$) twice to vector $\vec{OA_2}=\begin{bmatrix}2\sqrt{2}/3\\0\\-1/3\end{bmatrix}$:
$$R=\begin{bmatrix}-1/2& -\sqrt{3}/2& 0\\\sqrt{3}/2& -1/2& 0\\0& 0& 1\end{bmatrix}$$
