Question from visshwam, a student: how to find volume of hexagonal pyramid and hexagonal prism? hexagon prism is 2"x1" each side |
Visshwam,
The volume of a hexagonal prism is the area of the base times the height and the volume of a hexagonal pyramid is 1/3 the area of the base times the height. I assume the base is a regular hexagon and I suggest you find the area of the base using the technique that Stephen demonstrated in his response to an earlier question.
For the height of the pyramid I suggest you look at my response to a question from Carol.
