Usage Examples English
  • Hexes are a type of nut, a hollow eccentric hexagonal prism with tapered ends, usually threaded with webbing, a swaged cable, or a cord.
  • There are 1 + 3 + 1 = 5 edges meeting at a vertex, 3 Hexagonal Prism cells meeting at an edge, and faces are shared between 2 cells.
  • "J"35 consists of 2 cupolae and hexagonal prism.
  • The gyrobifastigium is one of five convex polyhedra with regular faces capable of space-filling (the others being the cube, truncated octahedron, triangular prism, and hexagonal prism) and it is the only Johnson solid capable of doing so.
  • The "edge-first" parallel projection of the tesseract into three-dimensional space has an envelope in the shape of a hexagonal prism.

  • Each primary parallelohedron is combinatorially equivalent to one of five types: the rhombohedron (including the cube), hexagonal prism, truncated octahedron, rhombic dodecahedron, and the rhombo-hexagonal dodecahedron.
  • As Johannes Kepler noted in his 1611 book on snowflakes ("Strena seu de Nive Sexangula"), honey bees use the geometry of rhombic dodecahedra to form honeycombs from a tessellation of cells each of which is a hexagonal prism capped with half a rhombic dodecahedron.
  • They are not the only covers involving prisms: for instance, the hexagonal prism can also cover a non-planar graph, the utility graph "K"3,3, by identifying antipodal pairs of vertices.
  • The rectified order-6 tetrahedral honeycomb, t1{3,3,6} has octahedral and triangular tiling cells arranged in a hexagonal prism vertex figure.
  • Three forms are Johnson solids: augmented hexagonal prism, biaugmented triangular prism, and elongated pentagonal pyramid.

  • The spacecraft was to have been a simple hexagonal prism shaped structure weighing some 220 kg (485 lb), powered by radioisotope thermal generators (RTGs) similar to those used on the "Galileo" and "Cassini" missions.
  • They consist of a hollow eccentric hexagonal prism with tapered ends, usually threaded with cord or webbing.
  • Numerous wasps, especially Polistinae and Vespinae, construct hexagonal prism-packed combs made of paper instead of wax; in some species (such as "Brachygastra mellifica"), honey is stored in the nest, thus technically forming a paper honeycomb.
  • In these strategies the switching vectors define a 3D shape (a hexagonal prism in [...] coordinates or a dodecahedron in abc coordinates) rather than a 2D hexagon.
