Hexagon

HEXAGON

• A hexagon a six-sided figure.
• Click on the figure below to learn how to find the area of a regular hexagon (a regular hexagon is one where all sides and angles are congruent).

• The six internal angles of a regular hexagon measure to 120°.
• Together the six internal angles add up to 720 degrees.
• Hexagons have 6 lines of symmetry.
• Similar to squares and equilateral triangles, regular hexagons fit together without any gaps or overlaps to tile a plane.
• Since three hexagons meet at every vertex, regular hexagons, along with squares and equilateral triangles are ideal when constructing pure tessesllation.
