The tetrahedron is the simplest of all polyhedra—solids bounded by polygons.
However, a tetrahedron with four identical faces, where each of the three sides of a face has a different length, can be Heronian.
For example, a tetrahedron with pairs of opposite edges of length 888, 875, and 533 has a volume of 37608480.

A Heronian tetrahedron is a tetrahedron whose sides, faces and volume are all rational numbers.
The faces must therefore all be Heronian triangles.
A regular tetrahedron with rational sides is not a Heronian tetrahedron because its face areas and volume are not rational numbers.

The integer Heronian tetrahedron having smallest maximum side length is the one with edge lengths 51, 52, 53, 80, 84, 117; faces (117, 80, 53), (117, 84, 51), (80, 84, 52), (53, 51, 52); face areas 1170, 1800, 1890, 2016; and volume 18144 (Buchholz 1992; Guy 1994, p.
The integer Heronian tetrahedron with smallest possible surface area and volume has edges 25, 39, 56, 120, 153, and 160; areas 420, 1404, 1872, and 2688 (for a total surface area of 6384); and volume 8064 (Buchholz 1992, Peterson 2003).
The smallest examples of integer Heronian tetrahedra composed of four identical copies of a single acute triangle (i.e., disphenoids) have pairs of opposite sides (148, 195, 203), (533, 875, 888), (1183, 1479, 1804), (2175, 2296, 2431), (1825, 2748, 2873), (2180, 2639, 3111), (1887, 5215, 5512), (6409, 6625, 8484), and (8619, 10136, 11275) (Guy 1994, p.

A Heronian tetrahedron, also called a perfect tetrahedron, is a (not necessarily regular) tetrahedron whose sides, face areas, and volume are all rational numbers.
It therefore is a tetrahedron all of whose faces are Heronian triangles and additionally that has rational volume.
