The base face of a prism is a regular hexagon. The height of the prism is 25 cm and the total area of the triangles serving
as the lateral faces is 3000 cm square. Draw the picture of the prism, find the length of each of the base edges and the volume of the prism.

The lateral faces of a prism are rectangles.

They are not triangles.
