Find the area of the base of the hexagon and multiply the base by the height.

Explanation:

Base times Height equal Volume

# B xx H = V #

The formula for the area of the base hexagon is

# A =( 3xx sqrt 3)/2xx a^2# so
where a = one side of the regular hexagon.

# (3 xx sqrt 3)/2 xx a^2 xx H = V #
