It is rectangular
No. Rectangular packing can be better, particularly if the overall area is rectangular.
Assuming that the hexagons are regular then in terms of infinite packing both are 100% efficient so there is nothing to choose between them. For finite packing, however, the shape of the overall space becomes relevant and without detailed information about that it is not possible to answer the question.
The packing fraction of hexagonal close packing is about 0.74, which means that approximately 74 of the available space is occupied by atoms in this arrangement.
A hexagonal prism has 6 rectangular faces.
A hexagonal prism has 8 faces: 2 hexagonal bases and 6 rectangular lateral faces. The rectangular faces are perpendicular to the hexagonal bases. Therefore, there are 6 perpendicular faces in a hexagonal prism.
A rectangular prism has 6 faces while a hexagonal prism has 8 faces.
i think the answer is a hexagonal prism
No a hexagonal pyramid has a base of a octagon and six triangles. (:
Two hexagonal "ends" and six rectangular sides.
A hexagonal prism is a prism composed of two hexagonal bases and six rectangular sides.
Yes; six of them. The "top" and the "bottom" would be the hexagonal faces.
A hexagonal prism has bases that are hexagonal. It has eight faces in all (octahedron).A rectangular prism has bases that are rectangles . It has six faces in all (hexahedron).
