Help with math's homework please? (Hexagonal pyramid)

The base of a regular hexagonal pyramid is 2 cm. The angle between the base and a side is 45°. I have to find:
1) The lenght of the longest diagonal of the base
2)The lenght of the shortest diagonal of the base
3)The side lenght of the pyramid
4) Altitude lenght
5) Volume

Please help me figure out at least one of the points, thank you!

Re: Help with math's homework please? (Hexagonal pyramid)

If it's a regular hexagon then all the diagonals will be the same.  Does 'shortest' mean 'distance between opposite sides' I wonder?  Let's see what Anne147 says next.
