Can you help me figure out how to do this geometry problem?

The base of a prism is a regular hexagon that measures 4 centimeters on each side. The prism has a


height of 17 centimeters. What is its total surface area?Can you help me figure out how to do this geometry problem?
I think the previous answer needs to be multiplied by 6.





The area of the bases should be (2*6*16*sqrt3)/4Can you help me figure out how to do this geometry problem?
I think it's ~421.86 cm^2





Area of the base: 2* (16radical3)/4





Area of the sides: 17*4*6
