An octahedron is a polyhedron with eight faces. A regular octahedron can be composed of eight equilateral triangles, four forming each half, and meeting in the middle at a square.
Imagine a pyramid, with a square base. Rising up from each edge is an equilateral triangle that meets the other four triangles at the apex. Now, turn the pyramid over and add four more triangles to the other side the same way. You now have an octahedron.

What does a octahedron look like?
In geometry, an octahedron is a polyhedron with eight sides. A regular octahedron is the dual polyhedron of a cube; It is a rectified tetrahedron.
What do the faces of a octahedron look like?

What does a regular octahedron look like?
It look like two square based pyramids stuck together on their square sides.
What does a truncated octahedron look like?
You start with a quadrilateral based bipyramid, which has six vertices. At each vertex, remove the tip in the form of a quadrilateral based pyramid. You will be left with a truncated octahedron.
What is shaped like an octahedron?
1. My house (really). 2. Another octahedron.
What shaped hole would you need for an octahedron to get through a shape sorter?
That's a really good question. It has several answers. You can put an octahedron through a square hole - just look at the octahedron point on.You can put an octahedron through a hole that's a regular hexagon - lay the octahedron down on a table on one of its triangles and look down on it and that's what you'll see.You can put an octahedron through a rhombus - to see that, look at it edge on. (This was the first answer posted to the question.)If you don't have a real octahedron to play with you can find one to rotate about with your mouse by visiting http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Octahedron.html
