Given the base edge and the height, the lateral area and surface area of the regular hexagonal prism are 168cm² and 251.138cm² respectively.
<h3>What is lateral and surface area of the regular hexagonal prism?</h3>
For a regular hexagonal prism, the Lateral surface area and the surface area is expressed as follows:
Lateral Area = 6a × h
Surface Area = 6ah + 3√3a²
Where a is base edge and h is height.
Given that;
- Base edge length a = 4cm
- Height h = 7cm
The Lateral Area of the regular hexagonal prism will be;
Lateral Area = 6a × h
Lateral Area = 6( 4cm ) × 7cm
Lateral Area = 24cm × 7cm
Lateral Area = 168cm²
The Surface Area of the regular hexagonal prism will be;
Surface Area = 6ah + 3(√3)a²
Surface Area = 6(4cm × 7cm) + 3(√3)(4cm)²
Surface Area = 168cm² + 3(√3)16cm²
Surface Area = 168cm² + 83.138cm²
Surface Area = 251.138cm²
Given the base edge and the height, the lateral area and surface area of the regular hexagonal prism are 168cm² and 251.138cm² respectively.
