A tetrahedron is a polyhedron with four sides (tetra means 4) that are triangles. So one fourth of a tetrahedron is a triangle.

Why is the volume of a tetrahedron 16th of a parallelopiped?

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.
