Volume of Regular Hexagonal Pyramid
The volume is the total space enclosed between all the faces of a regular hexagonal pyramid. The general formula for calculating the volume of a pyramid is equal to one-third of the product of the base area and the height of the pyramid.
Volume (V) = (1/3) × Base Area × Height
Now, by substituting the values of the base area and the height, we get
Volume of Regular Hexagonal Pyramid = (a × s × h) cubic units
Where,
- “a” is Apothem Length
- “s” is Side Length of Base
- “h” is Height of Pyramid
When the apothem of the regular hexagonal pyramid is not mentioned and the triangular faces are equilateral, there is another alternative formula to calculate its volume, i.e.,
Volume of Regular Hexagonal Pyramid (V)= (√3/2) × s2 × h cubic units
Where,
- “s” is Side Length of Base
- “h” is Height of Pyramid

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.
