We give an analytic proof based on Pythagoras' theorem of a theorem of Bang stating that if the faces of a tetrahedron have equal areas then they are congruent. We also place Bang's theorem in the more general context that deals with the existence and uniqueness of a tetrahedron PABC having a given base ABC and having lateral faces of given areas. Our approach shows also how to construct counter-examples to Bang's statement in higher dimensions.
