An octahedron is a closed 3-d shape with 8 polygonal faces. There are 257 topologically different convex octahedra. So there are 257 examples, plus versions of these formed by stretching and twisting. Some simple octahedra are
- a regular octahedron (also known as a square-based dipyramid or triangular antiprism)
- heptagon-based pyramid
- hexagon-based prism.

What is an eight sided 3-D shape called?
Many options. A pentagonal prism or a regular octahedron, for example.
How many perpendicular faces does a octahedron have?
An octahedron is a closed 3-d shape with 8 polygonal faces. There are 257 topologically different convex octahedra. The number of perpendicular faces will depend on which particular octahedron you have in mind. The heptagon-based pyramid, for example, has none.
Which polyhedrons has more faces but less vertices?
An octahedron, for example. 8 faces, 6 vertices.
How many faces does an octahedron have?
An octahedron has 8 sides.An octahedron is a polyhedron with eight plane faces.
How many edges and vertices does an 62 face octahedron have?
An octahedron has eight faces. If it has 62 faces then it is not an octahedron!
How many sides does an octahedron have?
An octahedron has 8 sides.
How many corners does a octahedron have?
An octahedron has 18 corners.
How many faces has a octahedron?
a octahedron has 8 faces
Where are the eight sides of the octahedron?
They comprise the surfaces of an octahedron.
What is a sentence with octahedron?
An octahedron is a closed solid shape with eight polygonal faces.
How many parallel edges and faces does a octahedron have?
An octahedron is a closed 3-d shape with 8 polygonal faces. There are 257 topologically different convex octahedra. The number of parallel edges or faces will depend on the particular octahedron. A heptagon-based pyramid, for example, has no parallel edges nor parallel faces.
What is a polyhedron prism with 2 hexagonal bases and rectangular faces?
It is an octahedron in the form of a hexagonal prism.It is an octahedron in the form of a hexagonal prism.It is an octahedron in the form of a hexagonal prism.It is an octahedron in the form of a hexagonal prism.
