Typical Typically-sized pencil under a ruler. A standard, hexagonal, "#2 pencil" is cut to a hexagonal height of 1⁄4-inch (6 mm), but the outer diameter is slightly larger (about 9⁄32-inch (7 mm)).[
Pencils are hexagonal.
The normal (unsharpened) pencil is a hexagonal cylinder.

A pencil with one pinted end and one flat end, will have two sides (as the pointed end is all one surface), PLUS however many sides the body of the pencil has - in this case six, so the total willl be 8.

look at a pencil. it is only hexagonal prism i can think of. bye.
Pencils are cut into a hexagonal shape for a variety of reasons. One reason is so that the pencil does not roll off a flat surface, such as a desk, quite so easily. Another reason for being cut hexagonally is so that they can stack more easily.
