Hexagonal Prism

A hexagonal prism is a three-dimensional shape with 8 faces (2 hexagonal and 6 rectangular), 18 edges, and 12 vertices. The two hexagonal bases are parallel and congruent, while the rectangular faces connect the bases. Each hexagonal face has 6 edges, contributing to the total edge count of 18.

A hexagonal prism is a three-dimensional geometric shape with two

hexagonal bases and six rectangular faces connecting them. It has 8 faces
(2 hexagonal and 6 rectangular), 18 edges, and 12 vertices. The hexagonal
bases are parallel and congruent.

Here's a more detailed breakdown:


Faces:
A hexagonal prism has a total of 8 faces. Two of these are hexagonal (the top and bottom
bases), and the other six are rectangular.

Edges:
It has 18 edges. Each hexagonal face has 6 edges, and there are 6 rectangular faces, each
with 2 edges that aren't shared with the hexagons.

Vertices:
A hexagonal prism has 12 vertices. Each hexagonal base has 6 vertices, and these are the
points where the rectangular faces meet the bases.

 Parallel and Congruent Bases:


The two hexagonal bases are parallel to each other and are identical in size and shape
(congruent).

 Rectangular Lateral Faces:


The six rectangular faces connect the corresponding sides of the two hexagonal bases.
