In geometry, the heptagonal prism is a prism with heptagonal base. This polyhedron has 9 faces (2 bases and 7 sides), 21 edges, and 14 vertices.[1][2]
Area
The area of a right heptagonal prism with height and with a side length of and apothem is given by:[1]
Volume
The volume is found by taking the area of the base, with a side length of and apothem , and multiplying it by the height , giving the formula:[1]
This formula also works for the oblique prism due to the Cavalieri's principle.

The heptagonal prism can also be seen as a tiling on a sphere:
