Imagine a cylinder with a height of 2.5 centimeters and a radius of 6 centimeters. Overlap a hexagon and remove the excess cylinder, parts not contained within hexagon (All sides of the hexagon should be equal, and the scale of the shape should be line up with the edge of the circle)
What is the volume of the hexagon?

It's a hexagonal prism.
r = 6cm
A = 6*3*3√3
V = 2.5A
V = 2.5*6*3*3√3
V = 233.83 cm^3

a hexagon is made up of 6 equilateral triangles
an eqilateral triangle area is 1/2 base times height
base = 6 cm
height = square root of x
6^2 = hypoteneuse = 36
3^2 is the other side = 9 so height is square root of 27
so - 6 ( # of triangles) times (6 times sq rt 27=area) times height 2.5 cm is your answer
u do the math
