surfaces.
A hexagonal pyramid has surfaces,
(Type whole numbers.)
face(s) and
base(s).



Answer :

A hexagonal pyramid has 7 surfaces in total:
- 1 hexagonal base
- 6 triangular faces

The base of the hexagonal pyramid is a regular hexagon, which means it has 6 equal sides and 6 equal angles. Each of the 6 faces of the pyramid is a triangle that meets at a common point called the apex or vertex.

Therefore, a hexagonal pyramid has a hexagonal base and 6 triangular faces. The base is a flat, regular hexagon while the faces are triangles with different dimensions, meeting at the top to form the apex of the pyramid.
