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.
A regular octahedron has 8 faces, 12 edges, and 6 vertices. Each face is an equilateral triangle, and the octahedron can be thought of as two pyramids with a square base joined at their bases. This structure contributes to its symmetrical properties and distinct geometric characteristics.
An octahedron is the name for a non-specific shape. It could be a di-rectangular pyramid with 6 vertices - this is like two rectangular [or square] based pyramids stuck together base-to-base. 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 octahedraons.
An octahedron has eight bases/faces.
An octahedron has eight faces. If it has 62 faces then it is not an octahedron!
The three main pyramids of Giza have base areas which sum to 110,120 square metres.

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.
