Imagine a pyramid, with a triangle shaped base, with three sides coming up each of which is a triangle. That is a tetrahedron (4 sides, all the same side, with each one the shape of a triangle).

Mostly correct, but the four faces need not all be the same.

What does a tetrahedon look like?

A tetrahedron is a three-dimensional geometric shape that consists of four triangular faces, six edges, and four vertices. Each face of the tetrahedron is an equilateral triangle, making it a type of polyhedron. It resembles a pyramid with a triangular base, and all its vertices are equidistant from each other in a regular tetrahedron. The shape is often associated with the simplest form of three-dimensional space.
