Given :- 

The base of a right prism is a regular hexagon of side 5 cm

height is 12 √3 cm

Concept :-

Prism is a part of cylinder so,

Volume of prism = Base × Height

As base of prism is shan so 

Volume of prism with base hexagonal = base area × height

Base area = Area of hexagonal is equal to area of 6 equilateral triangle = 6 × (√3/4) × side2 

Calculation :-

F1 Shraddha SSC 08.04.2022 D1

⇒ Base area = 6 × (√3/4) × 52 

⇒ Base area = 150 × (√3/4)

⇒ Volume = 150 × (√3/4) × 12√3

⇒ Volume = (1800 × 3)/4

⇒ Volume = 1350 cm3

∴ Volume = 1350 cm3
