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.


What solid has a congruent face?

A solid with congruent faces is a regular polyhedron, such as a cube or a regular tetrahedron. In a cube, all six faces are identical squares, while in a regular tetrahedron, all four faces are congruent equilateral triangles. These shapes exemplify how congruent faces contribute to the symmetry and uniformity of the solid.


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

A tetrahedron - ie a triangular pyramid.


What is the object that has 4 faces and all the faces on the object are congruent?

A tetrahedron (or 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 a solid figure that has all of its faces congruent?

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.


Which type of polygons are the faces of a tetrahedron?

The faces of a tetrahedron are all triangular polygons. Specifically, a regular tetrahedron has equilateral triangles as its faces, while an irregular tetrahedron can have any type of triangle as its faces, but they will always be triangular in shape. Each tetrahedron has four triangular faces, four vertices, and six edges.
