Elongated octahedron


In geometry, an elongated octahedron (also trapezoidal octahedron) is a polyhedron with 8 faces (4 triangular, 4 isosceles trapezoidal), 14 edges, and 8 vertices.

It can also be constructed as a hexadecahedron, with 16 triangular faces, 24 edges, and 10 vertices. Starting with the regular octahedron, it is elongated along one axes, adding 8 new triangles. It has 2 sets of 3 coplanar equilateral triangles (each forming a half-hexagon), and thus is not a Johnson solid.

If the sets of coplanar triangles are considered a single isosceles trapezoidal face (a triamond), it has 8 vertices, 14 edges, and 8 faces - 4 triangles Polyiamond-1-1.svg and 4 triamonds Polyiamond-3-1.svg. This construction has been called a triamond stretched octahedron.

Another interpretation can represent this solid as a hexahedron, by considering pairs of trapezoids as a folded regular hexagon. It will have 6 faces (4 triangles, and 2 hexagons), 12 edges, and 8 vertices.
