In geometry, a hexagonal pyramid is a pyramid with a hexagonal base upon which are erected six triangular faces that meet at a point (the vertex). Like any pyramid, it is self-dual.
A right hexagonal pyramid with a regular hexagon base has C6v symmetry.
A right regular pyramid is the one which has a "regular" hexagon at the base, it is called as a "right" regular pyramid because the line joining the centre of the base to the apex of the pyramid, the line joining the centre of the hexagon base and any of the corners of the hexagon and the line joining that corner of the hexagon and the apex form a right angled triangle.
