        A truncated octahedron has eight faces of a hexagon and six faces of a square. It can be constructed from cutting every corner of an octahedron until the faces of a triangle in octahedron become a hexagon. Suppose the radius of an octahedron is equal to 3 units, and then the volume of a truncated octahedron is equal to 32 units.
