Can someone tell me whats the bond angles for octahedral and trigonal bipyromidal?😕

octahedral - 90, 180 *looks like a square with electron domain above and below with 8 triangular faces

trigonal bipyramidal - 120, 90 *looks like a billiards rack with electron domain above and below

Trigonal bipyramidal also has a 180 degree bond angle between the two "axial" atoms/groups

Wiki and Chad both said 120 and 90.. i do see the 180 angle on the VSPER model, but still not sure if there is an actual 180😕
