Final answer:

A regular tetrahedron has 6 edges.

Step-by-step explanation:

A regular tetrahedron is a three-dimensional shape with four equilateral triangular faces.

Each face shares an edge with each of the other three faces.

To find the number of edges in a regular tetrahedron, we can count the number of edges for each face and divide by 2 (since each edge is shared by two faces).

Since each face of a tetrahedron is an equilateral triangle, it has three edges. So, the total number of edges in a tetrahedron is:

Number of edges = (Number of faces x Number of edges per face) / 2

Number of edges = (4 x 3) / 2 = 6
