This is a hexagonal prism that I bought at a souvenir shops in Washington D.C. It is really cool and shows a bunch of famous monuments and buildings in D.C. which are on each side of the prism. The Washington Monument is in the middle. I saw this and remembered calculating lateral area, surface area, and volume, with prisms just like this one.
