Base Area = (3√3/2) × a² ≈ 2.598 × a²
Lateral Area = 6 × a × h
Surface Area = 2 × Base Area + Lateral Area = 3√3 × a² + 6ah
Volume = Base Area × Height = (3√3/2) × a² × h
📖 About Hexagonal Prism
A hexagonal prism is a geometric shape composed of two parallel regular hexagonal bases and six rectangular side faces. It is common in nature and industry, such as honeycombs, bolt heads, pencils, etc.
Hexagonal Prism Features:
- Two congruent regular hexagonal bases
- Six congruent rectangular side faces
- 12 edges, 6 are base edges, 6 are prism heights
- Regular hexagons can tile the plane, the most efficient filling method
Applications:
- Honeycomb structure
- Bolts, nuts
- Pencil cross-section
- Some architectural structures
