Solution


The faces of a regular tetrahedron are equilateral triangles.

Let us consider â–³OAB
OA=0-02+0-12+0-12 =2
OB=1-02+0-02+1-02 =2
AB=1-02+0-12+1-12 =2
Hence, this face is an equilateral triangle.
Similarly, â–³OBC, â–³OAC, â–³ABC all are equilateral triangles.
Hence, the tetrahedron is a regular one.
