Volume_of_any_prism = area_of_base x length
Area_regular_hexagon = 3/2√3 x side2
⇒ volume = 3/2√3 x side2 x length

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
area of base x h
A hexagonal prism has 2 hexagons. A hexagonal pyramid has1 hexagon.
The prefix hex- denotes a six sided polygon, so a hexagonal prism will have a six-sided base and, in total, will have eight faces: it is an octohedron.Provided the faces are all regular the hexagonal prism is referred to as a semiregular polyhedron, but could be defined in other terms if the faces are irregular.
