Uniform octagonal prism

Type	Prismatic uniform polyhedron
Elements	F = 10, E = 24, V = 16 (χ = 2)
Faces by sides	8{4}+2{8}
Schläfli symbol	t{2,8} or {8}×{}
Wythoff symbol	2 8 \| 2 2 2 4 \|
Coxeter diagrams
Symmetry	D_8h, [8,2], (*822), order 32
Rotation group	D₈, [8,2]⁺, (822), order 16
References	U_76(f)
Dual	Octagonal dipyramid
Properties	convex, zonohedron
Vertex figure 4.4.8

In geometry, the octagonal prism is the sixth in an infinite set of prisms, formed by square sides and two regular octagon caps.

If faces are all regular, it is a semiregular polyhedron.
