Hexagonal Prism - As A Semiregular (or Uniform) Polyhedron

As A Semiregular (or Uniform) Polyhedron

If faces are all regular, the hexagonal prism is a semiregular polyhedron, more generally, a uniform polyhedron, and the fourth in an infinite set of prisms formed by square sides and two regular polygon caps. It can be seen as a truncated hexagonal hosohedron, represented by Schläfli symbol t{2,6}. Alternately it can be seen as the Cartesian product of a regular hexagon and a line segment, and represented by the product {6}x{}. The dual of a hexagonal prism is a hexagonal bipyramid.

The symmetry group of a right pentagonal prism is D6h of order 24. The rotation group is D6 of order 12.
