How to calculate the surface area and volume of a hexagonal prism?

I don't know what data you have to use, so ill assume you have the height of a side (H) and the length of one of the hexagon sides (L)

Assuming the hexagons are regular:

Area of a hexagon = ((3*sqrt(3))/2)*L^2
Area of each rectangular face = H*L

Surface area of hexagonal prism = 2*HexagonArea + 6*RectangleArea

Volume of Hexagonal Prism = HexagonArea*H

Hope this helps..

The side of the base of the prism is 26m, and the height of the prism is 14m

Hi
I would like to know the answer to this question . If any of you would be grateful to help that would be appreciated.
There is one hexagonal prism . Each end of the prism is a regular hexagon with sides of length5cm .The prism is 9cm long.The area of each hexagon is 65cm2 .What is the total area of all the faces ?
Thank you
