You specify shapes by the number of sides (or edges, different name) they have. The suffix -gon at the end of a word show how many sides it has in the words. For example, an octagon has eight sides; so if you see a shape with eight sides, it's an octogon. All shapes are known as polygons, which means it has three or more sides.
No. All 2-dimensional shpaes with 8 sides are octagons; all 3-dimensional shapes with 8 sides are called octahedrons.
Shapes with straight sides are called polygons
A shape with eight sides is called an octagon.
They are closed flat shapes enclosed by eight, six and five straight sides, respectively.
No, octagons just have to be closed shapes with eight sides - the sides do not have to be of equal length.

For planar shapes, an eight sided polygon (also simply octagon) is any shape with eight straight sides it does not have to be equilateral (same length on all sides) or equiangular (same angle on all sides) as the regular octagon is.If you are talking about 3 dimensional shapes the terms are polyhedron & octahedron
They are the boundaries of the shapes.
Shapes that have four sides are known as quadrilaterals.
Shapes with straight sides are called polygons
A shape with eight sides is called an octagon.
All shapes have sides. Including a circle which has one curved side.
The only similarities between these shapes are that:These shapes have all congruent interior anglesObviously, the shapes are regular and have equal sides.
They are closed flat shapes enclosed by eight, six and five straight sides, respectively.
There are a few simple shapes with equal sides. The basic shapes are a square, octagon, and an equilateral triangle,
