A prism with a hexagonal base.
No, there are TWO bases.
The lateral area [L] of a right prism with base perimeter [P] and height [h] is L=Ph.

A hexagonal prism has hexagons at each end whereas a hexagonal pyramid has a hexagonal base and an apex. The numbers of faces, shapes of the faces, numbers of edges and vertices are all different.
