An octagon shaped cell is closer to a circle than a hexagon. Explain why such a shape is not used as an ideal shape of the cell?

What will be an ideal response?


Hexagonal modeling of cells achieves complete packing of space without any
overlap or gaps between cells. Though octagons (or any polygon of sides 7 or
more) are closer in shape to circles than hexagons, they cannot be packed
without causing either overlap or gaps or both.
