An anti-prism is a type of polyhedron characterized by two parallel bases that are identical polygons, with additional faces forming a series of triangles connecting the edges of the bases. Unlike a prism, which has rectangular side faces, an anti-prism features these triangular faces that twist around the axis of the shape. This structure results in a unique geometric form, and anti-prisms can be categorized based on the number of sides in the base polygon. They are part of the broader family of convex polyhedra.

What is an antiprism?
An antiprism is a polyhedron consisting of two parallel copies of some polygon, connected by an alternating band of triangles.
What is a 12 faced 3D with 2 pentagons and 10 triangles?
A pentagonal antiprism.
What is the difference between a prism and an antiprism?
A prism is a polyhedron comprising two parallel polygons (bases) joined together by a set of quadrilaterals. In an antiprism, the two bases are twisted in respect of one another, and they are joined together by a series of triangles pointing in alternating direction.
What is a polygon that connects the bases of a polyhedron?
There is no special name. In a prism it would be a quadrilateral, in an antiprism, a triangle.

Why is an octahedron an antiprism?
An octahedron is a closed 3-d shape with 8 polygonal faces. There are 257 topologically different convex octahedra. All but one are not antiprisms: only the regular octahedron is.An antiprism is a solid shape comprising two identical parallel faces joined together with a "ring" of triangles alternately pointing in opposite directions. Consider a regular octahedron placed on one of its faces - a triangle. Its top face will be another identical triangle which points in the opposite direction. Between the top and bottom, there are six triangles, alternately pointing up and down. It therefore meets all the requirements of an antiprism.
What is the top and bottom of a 3 dimensional shape?
It depends on the shape. The top of a pyramid will be a point (the apex). The top (and bottom) of a prism or an antiprism will be congruent polygons.
