Does a tetrahedron have any right angles?

No. A right angle would be 90 degrees; a tetrahedron is composed of four equilateral triangles, which by definition have equal angles of 60 degrees apiece.* * * * *Wrong!A tetrahedron is a solid shape enclosed by any four triangles. Only a regular tetrahedron that requires equilateral triangles. So an ordinary tetrahedron can have right angles - up to 3 of them at one vertex.

Why do we cut sandwiches into triangles?

People cut sandwiches into triangles to make them look special. There aren't many things you can do with a sandwich to make it look festive. You can cut off the crusts or cut shapes out of it with a cookie cutter, but that wastes part of the sandwich. Cutting it into triangles is a quick and easy way to 'fancy up' a plain sandwich.
