text: i need a picture and name of geometric solids? 1)what is the name of a polyhedron that is a prism with each base a hexagon and the other faces are rectangles? 2)what is the name of a polyhedron that has eight faces, with each face the same size and with each face being an equilateral triagle? 1) hexagonal prism 2) regular octahedron (not just 'octahedron')  let me find some pictures...  both shapes have 8 faces, so they are both in the family of octahedrons, so be sure you use the name *regular* octahedron for the second one.
