1. The problem asks for the mathematical name of the 3D shape and the number of its faces. 2. The shape described is a hexagonal prism, which is a type of prism with hexagonal bases. 3. A hexagonal prism has two hexagonal faces (top and bottom) and six rectangular faces connecting the corresponding sides of the hexagons. 4. Therefore, the total number of faces is the sum of the two hexagonal faces and the six rectangular faces: $$2 + 6 = 8$$ 5. In conclusion, the shape is called a hexagonal prism and it has 8 faces in total.
