It can be seen as a truncated hexagonal hosohedron, represented by Schläfli symbol t{2,6}. Alternately it can be seen as the Cartesian product of a regular hexagon and a line segment, and represented by the product {6}×{}. The dual of a hexagonal prism is a hexagonal bipyramid. The symmetry group of a right hexagonal prism is D 6h of order 24.
A hexagonal pyramid has seven vertices, twelve edges, and seven faces. One of its faces is hexagon, a base of the pyramid; six others are triangles. Six of the edges make up the pentagon by connecting its six vertices, and the other six edges are known as the lateral edges of the pyramid, meeting at the seventh vertex called the apex.
[21] [22] A tetrahedron or triangular pyramid is an example that has four equilateral triangles, with all edges equal in length, and one of them is considered as the base. Because the faces are regular, it is an example of a Platonic solid and deltahedra, and it has tetrahedral symmetry. [23] [24] A pyramid with the base as circle is known as ...
In geometry, a convex polyhedron whose faces are regular polygons is known as a Johnson solid, or sometimes as a Johnson–Zalgaller solid [1].Some authors exclude uniform polyhedra (in which all vertices are symmetric to each other) from the definition; uniform polyhedra include Platonic and Archimedean solids as well as prisms and antiprisms.

The augmented hexagonal prism is constructed by attaching one equilateral square pyramid onto the square face of a hexagonal prism, a process known as augmentation. [1] This construction involves the removal of the prism square face and replacing it with the square pyramid, so that there are eleven faces: four equilateral triangles, five squares, and two regular hexagons.

In geometry, the triaugmented hexagonal prism is one of the Johnson solids (J 57). As the name suggests, it can be constructed by triply augmenting a hexagonal prism by attaching square pyramids ( J 1 ) to three of its nonadjacent equatorial faces.
Attaching the pyramids to nonadjacent, nonparallel equatorial faces yields a metabiaugmented hexagonal prism (J 56). (The solid obtained by attaching pyramids to adjacent equatorial faces is not convex, and thus not a Johnson solid.) A Johnson solid is one of 92 strictly convex polyhedra that is composed of regular polygon faces but are not ...
In geometry, the elongated pyramids are an infinite set of polyhedra, constructed by adjoining an n-gonal pyramid to an n-gonal prism. Along with the set of pyramids, these figures are topologically self-dual. There are three elongated pyramids that are Johnson solids: Elongated triangular pyramid (J 7), Elongated square pyramid (J 8), and
