Do you know an octahedron?
Octahedron has 8 sides on the surface.
A cuboctahedron is a polyhedron formed by slicing the corners off a cube at the midpoint of its edges.
Try drawing one in a cube with the edge of 5 cm.
How many sides do the cuboctahedron have?

Nice sketch Joshua :) thankssss
14 sides
Well, a cuboctahedron is a 14-sides-three dimensional figure which composed with 8 triangles and 6 squares. Basically, a cuboctahedron can be compressed into an octahedron.
Ma'am Hedy,
Is it 14 sides?
I got it by drawing and found out with the description as following:
Eight : 3-sided
Six : 4-sided
