How to Find the Volume of a Hexagonal Prism?

Use the formula: Volume = Base Area × Height

Find the area of the hexagonal base

If the hexagon is regular, use: Base Area = (3√3 / 2) × s²

Let s be the side length of the hexagon

Let h be the height of the prism

Substitute into the volume formula: Volume = (3√3 / 2) × s² × h

If the hexagon is irregular, divide it into simpler shapes and add their areas

Multiply the base area by the prism height to get the volume

Write the final answer in cubic units
