One difference: An octahedron has 8 faces, a triangular prism has 5.
An octahedron (="eight faces") is a regular high-symmetry solid with all the faces identical. A triangular prism has a triangular base, a triangular roof, and 3 rectangular sides (walls).
You can have a triangular prism but not a triangular cuboid which is a rectangular shape.
A regular tetrahedron. octahedron, dodecahedron.
An octahedron is a closed 3-d shape with 8 polygonal faces. There are 257 topologically different convex octahedra. An octahedron can have triangles for all eight faces or, as is the case with a hexagonal prism, not a single triangular face.
No, an octahedron is not a prism. An octahedron is a type of polyhedron with eight triangular faces, while a prism is a three-dimensional shape with two parallel, congruent bases and rectangular (or other polygonal) lateral faces connecting the bases. While both are considered polyhedra, their structures and properties are distinct.
An octahedron is a type of polyhedron, specifically a solid, that has eight triangular faces. It is not classified as a pyramid or a prism; instead, it can be considered a type of convex solid. The octahedron has 6 vertices and 12 edges, distinguishing it from the characteristics of pyramids and prisms.
a triangular prism has 6 vertices.
the difference is a triangular pyramid has a point at the top and a triangular prism doesn't and a triangular pyramid has a square at the bottom and tringular prism doesn't
A triangular prism has triangular bases, a heagonal prism has ... you guessed it! ... hexagonal bases.
You can have a triangular prism but not a triangular cuboid which is a rectangular shape.
A Square prism has a square base a triangular has a trianguler base
a triangle is 2D whereas a triangular prism is 3D.
