For a right regular hexagonal pyramid, the volume is found by
V+=+%281%2F3%29Bh
Here the base is a regular hexagon whose area is given by
B+=+%283sqrt%283%29%2F2%29%2As%5E2+=+%283sqrt%283%29%2F2%29%2A64+=+96sqrt%283%29
Thus the volume is
V+=+%281%2F3%29%2A96sqrt%283%29%2A9+=+288sqrt%283%29+=+498.8cm^3
