An octahedron is a three-dimensional polyhedron with eight triangular faces, six vertices, and twelve edges. It is one of the Platonic solids and has high symmetry, with all of its faces being equilateral triangles. A regular octahedron can be visualized as two pyramids joined at their bases. It has the same number of faces as a cube has vertices, and the same number of vertices as a cube has faces. […]
An octahedron is a polyhedron and platonic solid with 8 faces of identical equilateral triangles. In this post, I will try to explain the drawing and unrolling process of the octahedron. It has a close relationship with the cube as it’s dual. In order to construct an octahedron, we first have to create a square. The main problem of drawing the square is determining the right angle (perpendicular axis) to […]
