Regular Hexagon
Regular Hexagon – Types: A regular hexagon is a hexagon that is both equilateral and equiangular.It is bicentric, meaning that it is both cyclic and tangential.The common length of the sides equals the radius of the circumscribed circle or circumcircle, which equals 2 times the apothem.All internal angles are 120 degrees.. A regular hexagon has six reflectionsal symmetry, and rotational symmetry of order 6.A regular hexagon has 6 vertices and 6 sides, each of the same length. All the internal angles are 120°.
The hexagon is the highest regular polygon which can be tiled or tessellated in the Euclidean plane. The regular hexagon is the most symmetrical polygon with the least number of sides and is therefore considered the most aesthetically pleasing polygon.
A regular hexagon is a 6-sided polygon with sides of equal length. It has interior angles of 120°. Is a convex polygon. It is a cyclic polygon. Is a regular polygon. It is equilateral, and therefore also equiangular. Has 6 lines of reflectional symmetry and rotational symmetry of order 6. It is a bicentric polygon, as it is both cyclic and tangential.
Regular Hexagon – Types
There are three types of regular hexagons: the equilateral hexagon, the regular hexagon, and the irregular hexagon. The equilateral hexagon has all six sides equal in length, while the regular hexagon has all six sides equal in length and all six angles equal in measure. The irregular hexagon has sides of unequal length and angles of unequal measure.
How to Draw Regular Hexagon
Make sure the pencil is perpendicular to the paper. Begin drawing the circle from the top point. Use a light touch for the first circle, so you can erase it later if necessary. Place a small dot in the center of the hexagon. Draw the circle around the point, keeping the circle the same size as the first. Step 3. Draw the first line.
Formula Regular Hexagon
A hexagon is a polygon with six sides and six angles. A regular hexagon has all sides the same length and all angles the same size. It is a two-dimensional shape.
A regular hexagon can subdivided into six equilateral triangles. Therefore it has diagonals that bisect the sides and it has a perimeter of six times the length of one side. The area of a regular hexagon can found using the formula:
Area = (6 * s^2) / (4 * tan(π/6))
where s is the length of one side.
