What is the volume of a right hexagonal pyramid with a base edge of 1 cm and a height of 2 cm? Would I use V = (1/3)Bh? (6 * (1/2) * (1 * √3)) * 2 = 1.732 cm^3

Step 1
Since it is a regular hexagon, we can use the formula: Area of regular hexagon = (3√3/2) x (side length)^2 Plugging in the given base edge of 1 cm, we get: Area of hexagonal base = (3√3/2) x 1^2 = (3√3/2) cm^2 Show more…
