Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To find the number of hexagonal faces in a truncated octahedron, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Definition**: A truncated octahedron is a type of Archimedean solid that has both hexagonal and square faces. It is formed by truncating (cutting off) the vertices of a regular octahedron. 2. **Visualize the Structure**: To count the hexagonal faces, it is helpful to visualize or draw the structure of a truncated octahedron. It has a specific geometric shape that can be represented in 3D. ...
