1. Measure it... OR, if you have the volume already and it's an annoying problem-solving question: 2. Divide the volume by the area of one of the hexagonal faces
You don't. You need the height and the area of the base to find the volume.
The length and volume are not sufficient to determine the width and height.
A hexagonal prism's base is called a hexagonal base. The names of prisms are given according to the shape of their bases. A hexagonal prism has a base that is shaped like a hexagon. Similarly, a pentagonal prism has a pentagonal base.
Multiply the base area by the height.
The formula for calculating the volume of a hexagonal prism is to take the area of the hexagon, then multiply it by the height of the prism.
Volume = Area of base x height
The volume of a rectangular prism is given by the formula volume of rectangular prism = length x width x height If the length is l, the width is w and the height is h the volume is given by volume = lwh

If the side of a hexagonal prism is of length s units, then its cross sectional height is s*sqrt(3) units.
You don't. You need the height and the area of the base to find the volume.

A hexagonal prism's base is called a hexagonal base. The names of prisms are given according to the shape of their bases. A hexagonal prism has a base that is shaped like a hexagon. Similarly, a pentagonal prism has a pentagonal base.
Multiply the base area by the height.
area of base x h
The answer depends on whether you mean a hexagonal pyramid or a hexagonal prism or some other shape involving hexagons.
Volume of prism: 8*6*10 = 480 cubic units
