3D model of a uniform hexagonal prism. In geometry, the hexagonal prism is a prism with hexagonal base. Prisms are polyhedrons; this polyhedron has 8 faces, 18 edges, and 12 vertices. [1] Since it has 8 faces, it is an octahedron. However, the term octahedron is primarily used to refer to the regular octahedron, which has eight triangular faces.
A star prism is a nonconvex polyhedron constructed by two identical star polygon faces on the top and bottom, being parallel and offset by a distance and connected by rectangular faces. A uniform star prism will have Schläfli symbol {p/q} × { }, with p rectangles and 2 {p/q} faces. It is topologically identical to a p-gonal prism.

A regular skew hexagon seen as edges (black) of a triangular antiprism, symmetry D 3d, [2 +,6], (2*3), order 12. A skew hexagon is a skew polygon with six vertices and edges but not existing on the same plane. The interior of such a hexagon is not generally defined. A skew zig-zag hexagon has vertices alternating between two parallel planes.
The graph of an n-gonal prism has 2n vertices and 3n edges. They are regular, cubic graphs. Since the prism has symmetries taking each vertex to each other vertex, the prism graphs are vertex-transitive graphs. As polyhedral graphs, they are also 3-vertex-connected planar graphs. Every prism graph has a Hamiltonian cycle. [2]
The edge-first parallel projection of the tesseract into three-dimensional space has an envelope in the shape of a hexagonal prism. Six cells project onto rhombic prisms, which are laid out in the hexagonal prism in a way analogous to how the faces of the 3D cube project onto six rhombs in a hexagonal envelope under vertex-first projection.
A non-convex deltahedron is a deltahedron that does not possess convexity, meaning it has neither coplanar faces nor collinear edges. There are infinitely many non-convex deltahedrons. [9] Some examples are stella octangula, the third stellation of a regular icosahedron, and Boerdijk–Coxeter helix. [10] There are subclasses of non-convex ...
The dihedral angle of a truncated icosahedron between adjacent hexagonal faces is approximately 138.18°, and that between pentagon-to-hexagon is approximately 142.6°. [ 4 ] The truncated icosahedron is an Archimedean solid , meaning it is a highly symmetric and semi-regular polyhedron, and two or more different regular polygonal faces meet in ...
