A tetrahedron is a polyhedron with four triangular faces, while a triangular prism is a polyhedron with two triangular faces and three rectangular faces. The main difference between the two shapes is their number of faces and their base shapes. Additionally, a tetrahedron has four vertices and six edges, while a triangular prism has six vertices and nine edges.
