Hexagonal prisms and hexagonal pyramids are both polyhedra that feature hexagonal bases, which means they each have six sides in their base shape. They share similar geometric properties, including the ability to tessellate in certain arrangements. Additionally, both types of solids can be characterized by their vertical height and their volume can be calculated using base area and height formulas. However, they differ in that a prism has two parallel hexagonal bases, while a pyramid has one hexagonal base and converges to a single apex point.
