i just have the formula of the volume but not the altitude of it

Does your formula include the letter "h" (for height)?

If I were you, and what I've actually done: I'd do an Internet search for "tetrahedron volume formula." Please see one of the results of this search: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetrahedron This article should have all the info you need to solve your math problem.
