In general, an octagonal pyramid is a pyramid with an octagon for a base and triangles (which all have a common vertex) for sides. The octagon my or may not be a regular one.
A pyramid with an octagonal base.
Fact: a polygonal pyramid has a polygon for a base. Fact: A polygon with n sides (straws) has n vertices (balls of clay). Fact: A pyramid has one vertex (clay) at the top. Fact: Each vertex of the base has a side (straw) that connects it to the top vertex (clay). Question: How many sides does a hexagon have? (base straws) Question: How many vertices does a hexagon have? (base clay) Question: How many vertices are there all together, including the top one? (clay) Question: How many sides connect the base to the top vertex? (side straws) Question: How many sides (straws) are there all together? (straws)
one base nine faces
An octagonal pyramid
16 straws.

An octagonal pyramid has 8 faces. * * * * * No. An octagonal pyramid has 9 faces - one octagonal base and 8 triangular faces meeting at an apex above the base.
8 straws 4 for the square base 4 for 1 each of the sides, to meet at the top.
A pyramid, by definition, has one base.

Octagonal pyramid
An octagonal pyramid has nine vertices. In addition, it has sixteen edges and nine faces, including an octagonal base and eight triangular faces.
The formula to find the area of an octagonal pyramid is area of base plus area of sides.
A pyramid with an octagonal base.
An octagonal pyramid would have 9 sides: an octagon as the base and 8 triangles from that base to the apex of the pyramid.
8 lateral faces and a base
