hexagonal prism
the shape that has 8 faces , 18 edges , and 12 vertices is simply a hexagonal prism not a pyramid my butt :P
A pentagonal shape has 5 faces. For determining the name of a shape, it is determined by the amount of faces. For determining the amount of faces on a shape, it is determined by the pre fix of a word. tri-3 quad-4 pent-5. hex-6 hept-7 oct-8 non-9 deca-10 and so on.
Pentagonal prism.
A hexagonal based pyramid is the best description since it is not ambiguous. The shape is a heptahedron but that name could also apply to a pentagonal prism as well as some exotic shapes.

Octagon. * * * * * An octagon is 2-dimensional. The regular 3-d shape (all faces the same) is the octahedron, but a hexagonal prism also has 8 faces.
Can ypu please help with my sons homework question which is - Name two 3-D shapes that have 7 faces I think it is called a heptahedron, but check to be sure. * * * * * A heptahedron is a generic name for any solid with seven polygonal faces. If its is you son's homework, it is likely they are looking for more specific examples. Here are two: A pentagonal prism and a hexagonal pyramid.
There are a number of possible 7-sided polyhedra. Three that come immediately to mind are: a hexagonal pyramid, a pentagonal prism, a "stretched" triangular pyramid (triangular base, rectangular sides, and then triangular faces meeting at an apex).
A hexagonal pyramid is one possibility. A pentagonal bi-pyramid is another. There are others.
There is no simple way. You cannot go by the name - which can refer to the number of faces. You can have different shapes with the same number of faces. The following are all examples of a hexahedron (six faces): triangular dipyramid (9 edges), pentagonal prism (10 edges), rectangular prism (12 edges). One contributor has suggested it might be easier to count the faces and vertices (corners). Add the two numbers and then subtract 2. *This will work if the shape has been simplified as much as it can be. The 2 is only valid if there are no holes in the shape. For example, a pentagonal prism: 6 faces, 6 vertices. Sum = 12. Subtract 2 = 10. A pentagonal pyramid has 10 edges.
hexagonal prism In geometry, the hexagonal prism is a prism with hexagonal base. This polyhedron has 8 faces, 18 edges, and 12 vertices. Since it has 8 faces, it is an octahedron. However, the term octahedron is primarily used to refer to the regular octahedron, which has eight triangular faces. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexagonal_prism#/media/File:Hexagonal_prism.png
