What is a Tetrahedron
 A solid having four plane
triangular faces is known as
a triangular pyramid.
 It is the only Polyhedron with
4 sides
Properties
 In a regular tetrahedron, all four
vertices are equidistant from each
other.
 It has 6 planes of symmetry.
 Unlike other platonic solids, it has no
parallel faces.
 A regular tetrahedron has four
equilateral triangles as its faces.
Nets possible in a
Tetrahedron
Nets : In geometry, a net can be defined as a two-
dimensional shape which when folded in a certain
manner produces a three-dimensional shape.
Formulae for surface areas of
the Tetrahedron
 Lateral surface area = 3 congruent
triangles of the pyramid =
 Total surface area = 4 congruent
triangles of the pyramid =
Formula for Volume of
the Tetrahedron
 Volume of Regular Tetrahedron
