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
Two hexagonal "ends" and six rectangular sides.
No a hexagonal pyramid has a base of a octagon and six triangles. (:
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.
Both rectangular prisms and hexagonal prisms are types of three-dimensional geometric figures. They share similarities in that they both have two parallel faces (bases) and rectangular faces that connect the bases. Additionally, both can be classified as polyhedra, as they are made up of flat surfaces. However, their bases differ in shape, with rectangular prisms having rectangular bases and hexagonal prisms having hexagonal bases.
