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.

Do triangles have faces?

No.Faces relate to 3-dimensional objects, for example a tetrahedron, a cube. They are the 2-dimensional shapes that make up the surface of a 3-dimensional objectA triangle can be a face though, for example, a tetrahedron is made up of 4 triangular faces.


How many faces does a tetrahedron have?

A tetrahedron has 4 faces. A "regular tetrahedron" has an equilateral triangular base with three equilateral triangles as sides coming up from it.
