The answer depends on ... compared to WHAT?
A tetrahedron is a polyhedron with four sides (tetra means 4) that are triangles. So one fourth of a tetrahedron is a triangle.
A tetrahedron has 4 faces and 4 vertices.A tetrahedron has 4 faces and 4 vertices.A tetrahedron has 4 faces and 4 vertices.A tetrahedron has 4 faces and 4 vertices.
"Vertices" means corners. "Tetra" means four and "hedron" means side, so a tetrahedron is a four sided object. A tetrahedron looks like pyramid. Each side is a triangle. The bottom of a tetrahedron is a triangle, and a tetrahedron goes up to a point at the top. The three corners of the triangle at the bottom plus the point at the top gives you a total of four corners.
The volume of a tetrahedron is one-sixth of the volume of a parallelepiped because a tetrahedron can be thought of as a pyramid with a triangular base. When a tetrahedron is inscribed within a parallelepiped, it occupies one-sixth of the space defined by the parallelepiped's volume. Since a parallelepiped can be divided into six such tetrahedra, this means the volume of the tetrahedron is 1/6 of the parallelepiped. However, if the parallelepiped is defined by its full height and includes the whole base area, the tetrahedron's volume is one-sixteenth of the total volume when considering the full dimensions of the parallelepiped.
How was the tetrahedron kite suppose to be used?

A pyramid with a triangle as base is considered as a tetrahedron. It is a three dimensional polyhedron with 4 equilateral triangles as its sides. If one would look at the word tetrahedron, it literally means "with four planes".
It means that it likes pie so much
A tetrahedron has 4 vertices and 4 sides. Each side is an equilateral triangle. * * * * * Each face is an equilateral triangle only if it is a regular tetrahedron; there is no reason to assume it is.
I am not a tetrahedron!
It means run or kite
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.
