Introduction of Hexagon
A hexagon is a six-sided polygon. It has six angles and six sides. The word hexagon comes from the Greek word hexagonos, which means “six-sided.” Hexagons are often used to form honeycombs. Properties of Hexagon.
A regular hexagon is defined as a hexagon that is both equilateral and equiangular. It is bicentric, meaning that it is both cyclic (has a circumscribed circle) and tangential (has an inscribed circle).
A regular hexagon has six rotational symmetries (rotational symmetry of order six) and six reflection symmetries (six lines of symmetry), making up the dihedral group D6. The longest diagonals of a regular hexagon, connecting diametrically opposite vertices, are twice the length of one side. From this it can be seen that a triangle with a vertex at the center of the regular hexagon and sharing one side with the hexagon is equilateral, and that the regular hexagon can be partitioned into six equilateral triangles.
Hexagon Properties Geometry
A hexagon is a six-sided polygon. It has six angles and six sides. The angles of a hexagon are 120 degrees each, and the sides are all the same length.
Special Properties of Hexagon
The six-sided polygon is called a hexagon. It has six sides and six angles. The angles are all 60 degrees, and the sides are all the same length. A hexagon is also a regular polygon, which means all of its angles and sides are the same size.
