What is Truncated octahedron?
[[File:Truncatedoctahedron.jpg|thumb|A truncated octahedron, made of hexagons and squares.]] [[File:Truncated_Octahedron_with_Construction.svg|thumb|Constructing a truncated octahedron is done by cutting the parts in red, which are [[Pyramid (geometry)|pyramids]], and replacing them with squares.]] A '''truncated octahedron''' is an [[Archimedean solid]]. It has 14 faces: 8 are [[hexagon]]s, 6 are [[square]]s. It is obtained by cutting the edges of an [[octahedron]]. Each corner of the octahedron has four connections. Cutting the corner will therefore replace it with a square. [[Category:Archimedean solids|Octahedron]] {{Archimedean solids}}
