Enter the base side length and height of the hexagonal pyramid into the calculator to determine its volume and surface area.

Hexagonal Pyramid Calculation Formula

The following formulas are used to calculate the volume and surface area of a hexagonal pyramid.

Volume = (3 * sqrt(3) / 2) * baseLength² * height / 3
Surface Area = (3 * baseLength * sqrt(3 * baseLength² + 4 * height²)) / 2 + (3 * baseLength² * sqrt(3)) / 2

Variables:

  • Volume is the space enclosed by the hexagonal pyramid (m³)
  • Surface Area is the total area of all surfaces of the hexagonal pyramid (m²)
  • Base Length is the length of one side of the hexagonal base (m)
  • Height is the perpendicular distance from the base to the apex (m)
  • Apothem is the perpendicular distance from the center to a side of the hexagonal base (m)
  • Slant Height
