What is the name of the geometric solid with four faces that are congruent triangles?

Isosceles TetrahedronA solid with four faces is a tetrahedron. Each of the faces is a triangle. If all the triangles are congruent, you have an isosceles tetrahedron.

A tetrahedron (or triangular pyramid).


What object has 4 faces and all the faces are congruent?

A tetrahedron - ie a triangular pyramid.


What shape has 4 faces which are congrugent triangles?

A four faced figure is a tetrahedron. If they are all congruent triangles, they are all equilateral triangles and it is a regular tetrahedron - one of the 5 Platonic Solids.

What is the names of all the tetrahedron faces?

They don't have names beyond "the faces of the tetrahedron."


What is the difference between tetrahedron and triangular pyramid?

In a tetrahedron all the triangles have to be congruent. In a Triangular Pyramid, the lateral faces are all congruent to each other, but not always with the base triangle. Not necessarily. The lateral faces need to be congruent if it is a right pyramid, not otherwise. The apex of the pyramid need not be directly above the centre (however defined) of the base. Think of a triangular pyramid doing an impersonation of the Leaning Tower of Pisa!


Does a tetrahedron have parrallel faces?

No. The faces of a tetrahedron are equilateral triangles, but none of the faces is parallel to another one of the faces -- they could not be parallel, since by the definition of a tetrahedron, all the faces intersect(!) and parallel planes do not intersect.

Does a tetrahedron have perpendicular faces?

No and Yes A regular tetrahedron does not have any faces that are perpendicular to each other. (Regular in this sense means all edges are equally long - all faces are equilateral triangles)You can construct a irregular tetrahedron with two or three perpencdicular faces. To make such a tetrahedron with three faces perpendicular, simply cut the corner of a cube.
