Name the solid according to its description:

The figure has one base that is a hexagon.

A. pentagonal pyramid
B. hexagonal pyramid
C. hexagonal prism
D. pentagonal pyramid

A

hmmm ... the question names the shape of the base, so choose that name.

Now -- do prisms or pyramids only have one base?

D. pentagonal pyramid, because a hexagonal pyramid would have a hexagonal base, not a pentagonal one.

C. hexagonal prism

To determine the name of the solid according to its description, we need to understand the properties of the given figure. In this case, the figure has one base that is a hexagon.

Now, let's go through the options and see which one matches the description:

A. Pentagonal Pyramid - This option is not applicable because the base of the figure is a hexagon, not a pentagon.

B. Hexagonal Pyramid - This option is applicable because the base of the figure is a hexagon.

C. Hexagonal Prism - This option is not applicable because a prism has two congruent bases, and in this case, there is only one base.

D. Pentagonal Pyramid - This option is not applicable because, again, the base of the figure is a hexagon, not a pentagon.

Therefore, the correct answer is B. Hexagonal Pyramid, as it matches the description of the figure having one base that is a hexagon.
