Solution

The faces of a regular tetrahedron are equilateral triangles

Let us consider OAB

OA=(00)2+(01)2+(01)2

=2=2 units

OB=(10)2+(00)2+(10)2

=2 units

AB=(10)2+(01)2+(11)2

=2 units

Hence, this face is an equilateral triangle.

Similarly, OBC,OAC,ABC all are equilateral triangle.

Hence, the tetrahedron is regular one.
