Tetrahedra

By Miss Cece
What is a Tetrahedra?
A three-dimensional figure with four equilateral triangles

Each face is an Equilateral Triangle (triangle with all

equal sides)
It has 6 Edges
It has 4 Vertices (corner points)
At each vertex 3 edges meet
Different triangles

Isosceles
Right-angled
Equilateral
Scalene
Isosceles Triangle

2 sides the same

2 angles are the same
Right-Angle Triangle

Contains a 90 degree angle

Equilateral Triangle

All sides are the same

All angles are the same
Scalene Triangle

All sides are different

All angles are different
 The sides of the small equilateral triangle are the same
length as the short side of the isosceles triangle and the
short sides of the right-angled isosceles triangle.
The sides of the large equilateral triangle are the same
length as the long sides of the isosceles triangle and the
long side of the right-angled triangle.
You have an unlimited number of each type of triangle.
 How many different
tetrahedra can you make
using the plastic shapes?
