What is the base shape of the octahedron?

It can be a heptagon (heptagonal pyramid), hexagon (hexagonal prism), square (square based bipyramid). There are versions with pentagonal or triangular bases but I cannot think of their names.

What are the two pentahedrons called?

The two pentahedrons are called the triangular bipyramid and the square bipyramid. The triangular bipyramid consists of two tetrahedra sharing a common base, while the square bipyramid is formed by joining two square pyramids at their bases. Both shapes are part of the broader category of polyhedra known as bipyramids.


How many vertices does a square dipyramid have?

How many vertices does an octahedron have?

An octahedron, which is a 3-dimensional solid, has 6 vertices. It has 8 sides, each of which is an equilateral triangle (in the case of the regular octahedron). This solid shape looks like two square pyramids joined base to base. Use the link and surf on over to Wikipedia to see a picture.* * * * *An octahedron is the name for a non-specific shape.It could, as described above, be a rectangular bipyramid with 6 vertices.Or it could be a heptagonal pyramid, in which case it has 8 vertices.Or it could be a hexagonal prism, in which case it has 12 vertices.There are other octahedra (or octahedrons).


How many square pyramids do you need to make octahedron?

To construct an octahedron using square pyramids, you need a total of 8 square pyramids. Each pyramid can be placed with its base facing outward, sharing a vertex at the center of the octahedron. This arrangement allows the pyramids to form the eight triangular faces of the octahedron.
