Hexagonal Prism Volume

Find the volume of a regular hexagonal prism from its base edge and height. Base area, surface area and lateral area are computed too.

Input

Enter the base hexagon edge and the prism height to compute the volume of a regular hexagonal prism.

Edge a

Height h

Volume

415.692194

Base area

41.569219

Surface area

323.138439

Lateral area

240

Length uses your input unit, area uses it squared and volume uses it cubed.

With base edge a and height h, the base area is B equals 3√3 over 2 times a squared.
The volume is V equals B times h, which is 3√3 over 2 times a squared times h.
The lateral area is the six rectangular sides, 6 times a times h, and the surface area adds the two bases, 2 times B plus 6 times a times h.
Length uses the same unit as your input, areas use that unit squared and volume uses it cubed. For example edge and height in cm give a volume in cm³.
