Apr 5 at 8:16 comment added Gerry Myerson OK, but there's a lot more at that mathoverflow page than that one polyhedron.
Apr 5 at 7:05 comment added Fedor Nilov Yes, but all faces of this polyhedron are also acute triangles.
Apr 5 at 6:37 comment added Gerry Myerson E.g., mathworld.wolfram.com/DisdyakisDodecahedron.html
Apr 5 at 6:24 comment added Gerry Myerson OK, we're on the same page now. Is there anything helpful at mathoverflow.net/questions/376071/…
Apr 5 at 6:18 comment added Fedor Nilov Yes, but for an arbitrary acute triangle we can construct an isosceles tetrahedra with faces equal to this triangle. The question is for which OTHER triangles we can construct a polyhedron with all faces equal to this triangle?
Apr 5 at 6:11 comment added Gerry Myerson Why would each face have an obtuse angle? The angles at the apex of a pyramid can be arbitrarily close to zero.
Apr 5 at 6:06 comment added Fedor Nilov But then we get a polyhedron, each face of which is an isosceles triangle with obtuse angle $<120^{\circ}$. We already have such an example.
Apr 4 at 21:56 comment added Gerry Myerson Take two identical pyramids with a regular polygonal base and stick the bases together.
