To create an octagonal base pyramid, you will need a total of 17 straws. This includes 8 straws for the edges of the octagonal base and 9 additional straws to connect the apex of the pyramid to each vertex of the octagon. The structure requires careful assembly to ensure stability and proper angles.
A pyramid with 8 sides is referred to as an octagonal pyramid. This type of pyramid has an octagonal base and triangular faces that converge at a single apex point. Each triangular face connects one edge of the octagonal base to the apex.
To make a triangular-based pyramid, you would need a total of 6 straws. This includes 3 straws for the triangular base and 3 additional straws connecting each vertex of the base to the apex of the pyramid. The straws form the edges of the pyramid, creating its structure.
In general, an octagonal pyramid is a pyramid with an octagon for a base and triangles (which all have a common vertex) for sides. The octagon my or may not be a regular one.
A pyramid with an octagonal base.
Fact: a polygonal pyramid has a polygon for a base. Fact: A polygon with n sides (straws) has n vertices (balls of clay). Fact: A pyramid has one vertex (clay) at the top. Fact: Each vertex of the base has a side (straw) that connects it to the top vertex (clay). Question: How many sides does a hexagon have? (base straws) Question: How many vertices does a hexagon have? (base clay) Question: How many vertices are there all together, including the top one? (clay) Question: How many sides connect the base to the top vertex? (side straws) Question: How many sides (straws) are there all together? (straws)

An octagonal pyramid has 8 faces. * * * * * No. An octagonal pyramid has 9 faces - one octagonal base and 8 triangular faces meeting at an apex above the base.
8 straws 4 for the square base 4 for 1 each of the sides, to meet at the top.
An octagonal pyramid has 9 faces and 14 edges. The base of the pyramid is an octagon with 8 faces, and the pyramid itself has an additional triangular face. The edges consist of the edges of the octagon base and the edges connecting the base to the apex of the pyramid.
A pyramid, by definition, has one base.
In general, an octagonal pyramid is a pyramid with an octagon for a base and triangles (which all have a common vertex) for sides. The octagon my or may not be a regular one.
Octagonal pyramid
An octagonal pyramid has nine vertices. In addition, it has sixteen edges and nine faces, including an octagonal base and eight triangular faces.
The formula to find the area of an octagonal pyramid is area of base plus area of sides.
A pyramid with an octagonal base.
An octagonal pyramid would have 9 sides: an octagon as the base and 8 triangles from that base to the apex of the pyramid.
