Calculation Formula
The volume V of a Hexagonal pyramid is given by the formula:
V = (3 * sqrt(3) * s^2 * h) / 2
where s is the side length of the base hexagon, and h is the height of the pyramid.
Categories
| Category | Hexagonal Pyramid Type | Range |
|---|---|---|
| Small | Miniature Pyramid | 0-3 ft |
| Medium | Standard Pyramid | 3-6 ft |
| Large | Mega Pyramid | 6+ ft |
Examples
| Individual | Side Length (s) | Height (h) | Calculation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tom Thumb | 2 ft | 3 ft | (3 * sqrt(3) * 2^2 * 3) / 2 = 15.588 ft³ |
| Goliath | 6 ft | 7 ft | (3 * sqrt(3) * 6^2 * 7) / 2 = 527.046 ft³ |
