Regular Hexagonal Pyramid
A regular hexagonal pyramid is a pyramid whose hexagonal base is regular and the pyramid is straight, whereas an irregular hexagonal pyramid is a pyramid whose hexagonal base is irregular and the pyramid is oblique. A right regular pyramid is a hexagonal pyramid with a regular hexagonal base and, the apex of the pyramid is right above the centre of the base, such that the apex forms a right angle with the centre of the base and any other vertex.
It has a total of seven faces, twelve edges, and seven vertices. One of the seven vertices is the apex, which is at the top, and the other six are at the base of the pyramid. Out of the twelve edges, six edges connect the triangle edges that meet at the apex, and the other six are the edges of the base.
Regular Hexagonal Pyramid Formula
A hexagonal pyramid is a three-dimensional pyramid that has a hexagonal base along with sides or faces in the shape of isosceles triangles that meet at the apex or the top of the pyramid. A hexagonal pyramid is one of the different types of pyramids, which are classified based on the shape of the base of a pyramid. It is also known as a heptahedron since a hexagonal pyramid consists of 7 faces, which include a hexagonal base and 6 isosceles triangular lateral faces.
