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.
What else can I help you with?
How many rectangular faces does a hexagonal prism have?
A hexagonal prism has 6 rectangular faces.
Differences between a rectangular prism and a hexagonal prism?
A rectangular prism has 6 faces while a hexagonal prism has 8 faces.
How many sides is there in a hexagonal prism?
A hexagonal prism is a prism composed of two hexagonal bases and six rectangular sides.
How many faces does a hexagonal prism have?
A hexagonal prism has 6 rectangular faces.
What shape has 6 rectangular faces and 2 hexagonal faces?
A hexagonal prism has 6 rectangular faces and 2 hexagonal faces. Since it has 8 faces in total, it is a type of irregular octahedron, however it is correctly classified as a prismatic uniform polyhedron to avoid ambiguity with the regular octahedron with triangular faces. The hexagonal prism forms the basis of the hexagonal prismatic honeycomb.
Is hexagonal or rectangular packing better?
It is rectangular
Is hexagonal packing always better?
No. Rectangular packing can be better, particularly if the overall area is rectangular.
What is the packing fraction of hexagonal close packing?
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.
How many rectangular faces does a hexagonal prism have?
A hexagonal prism has 6 rectangular faces.
How many perpendicular faces does a hexagonal have?
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.
Differences between a rectangular prism and a hexagonal prism?

With which shapes is made the hexagonal prism?

Does a hexagonal prism have rectangular faces?
Yes; six of them. The "top" and the "bottom" would be the hexagonal faces.
What is the difference between hexagonal and rectangular prism?
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).
