HexagonalPyramid

A pyramid with a hexagonal base. The edge length of a hexagonal pyramid of height h is a special case of the formula for a regular n-gonal pyramid with n=6, given by

e=sqrt(h^2+a^2),
(1)

where a is the length of a side of the base. The volume of the hexagonal prism is

V=1/2sqrt(3)ha^2,
(2)

and the surface area is

S=3/2a(asqrt(3)+sqrt(3a^2+4h^2)).
