How do you find the area of the base of a hexagonal pyramid?

[sadfrog723]

Review the steps for finding the surface area of a regular pyramid:

1. Find the area of the base of the pyramid.
2. Find the slant height of the triangular side of the pyramid.
3. Find the area of each triangular side and multiply it by the number of sides.
4. Add the area of the sides to the area of the base for total area!

Hexagon

how do you get the area of a hexagon? Calculating from a Regular Hexagon with a Given Apothem. Write down the formula for finding the area of a hexagon with a given apothem. The formula is simply Area = 1/2 x perimeter x apothem. Write down the apothem.

Subsequently, question is, what is the formula for finding the volume of a hexagonal pyramid?

The volume of a pyramid is 1/3 × (the area of the base) × (the height) so you need to find the area of the base and the height. You can find the area of the base using the technique Stephen used in his response to an earlier problem.

What is the angle of hexagonal pyramid?

The height of the pyramid has been extended to reduce the clutter on the diagram. Vectors n1 and n2, perpendicular to the triangles PQR and PRS respectively can be found using the cross product. 180 - 24.19 = 155.81 degrees. Thus the bevel angle is 155.81/2 = 77.9 degrees.
