An octagonal prism is a three-dimensional geometric shape with two parallel octagonal bases connected by rectangular lateral faces. It has a total of 10 faces (2 octagons and 8 rectangles), 24 edges, and 16 vertices. The height of the prism is the distance between the two octagonal bases, and its volume can be calculated using the formula ( V = \text{Base Area} \times \text{Height} ). The surface area is calculated by adding the areas of the two bases and the lateral faces.

An octagonal prism has 24 edges.An octagonal prism has 16 vertices.An octagonal prism has 10 faces, two octagons on the "ends" and eight quadrilaterals (often rectangles) on the "sides". The correct number is 24
It is an octagonal prism
Two are needed at each end of the prism
An octagonal prism has 16 vertices.
The similarities are that:Cylinder and octagonal prisms are 3-D shaped figures.Assuming that octagonal prism are regular and cylinder and that prism have the same height, we can say that they almost resemble each other! In other words, their characteristics are like regular cylinders and octagonal prisms.The differences are that:The octagonal prism has more sides and faces than a cylinder. The octagonal prism has 10 faces while cylinder has 3 faces. The octagonal prism has 24 sides while cylinder doesn't have any of 'em!
