In a hexagon, the sum of all 6 interior angles is always 720º. The sum of interior angles of a polygon is calculated using the formula, (n-2) × 180°, where 'n' is the number of sides of the polygon. Since a hexagon has 6 sides, taking 'n' as 6 we get (6-2) × 180°, which gives 720°. How many Diagonals does a Regular Hexagon have? Notice that the lengths of the sides, and therefore the measures of the interior angles, are not all equal. Also, none of the interior angles is larger than 180°, so the hexagon is convex. Concave hexagon The perimeter of a hexagon is the sum of its boundary. It is the sum of all six sides. In the case of a regular hexagon, the formula to calculate its perimeter is 6 × side length. What is an Irregular Hexagon?The formula to calculate the number of diagonals of a polygon is n(n-3)/2, where 'n' is the number of sides of the polygon. After substituting the value of n = 6 in the formula, we get 6(6-3)/2, which is equal to 9. Therefore, a regular hexagon has 9 diagonals. How many Lines of Symmetry are there in a Regular Hexagon? A hexagon is classified based on the side lengths and angles. Based on this, hexagons are classified into the following types: The diagonals shown in red are the long diagonals and the diagonals shown in blue are the short diagonals. Note that long diagonals and short diagonals apply to regular hexagons. The figure below shows an example of an irregular convex hexagon and its diagonals. For all regular polygons, the number of lines of symmetry is equal to the number of sides. Thus, for a regular hexagon, there are six lines of symmetry. How to Find the Area of a Hexagon? A hexagon has six angles and the sum of all six interior angles is 720°. In a regular hexagon, each interior angle measures 120°. What is a Regular Hexagon?

Irregular Hexagon: This is a hexagon that has sides and angles of different measurements. All the internal angles are not equal to 120°. But, the sum of all interior angles is the same, i.e., 720°.

An irregular hexagon is one in which not all of the sides and interior angles are equal. The figure below shows an irregular hexagon example: However, when we lay the bubbles together on a flat surface, the sphere loses its efficiency advantage since the section of a sphere cannot completely cover a 2D space. The next best shape in terms of volume-to-surface area ratio also happens to be the best at balancing the inter-bubble tension that is created on the surface of the bubbles. We are, of course, talking of our almighty hexagon. A regular hexagon is one in which all of the sides and interior angles of the hexagon are equal. A regular hexagon is always convex. The figure below shows a regular hexagon example: Bubbles present an interesting way of visualizing the benefits of a hexagon over other shapes, but it's not the only way. In nature, as we have mentioned, there are plenty of examples of hexagonal formations, mostly due to stress and tensions in the material. We cannot go over all of them in detail, unfortunately. We can, however, name a few places where one can find regular hexagonal patterns in nature: We can determine the area of a hexagon by identifying the length of the side of the hexagon. To find the area of a regular hexagon we use the formula, A = (3√3 S 2)/2 square units, where S is the length of one side. What is the Formula to Calculate the Perimeter of a Hexagon?

Regular Hexagon: This is a hexagon that has equal sides and angles. All the internal angles of a regular hexagon are 120° each. The exterior angles measure 60° each. The sum of the interior angles of a regular hexagon is 6 times 120°, which is equal to 720°. The sum of the exterior angles is equal to 6 times 60°, which is equal to 360°. No, a hexagon may not necessarily have all sides equal. It can have sides of variable lengths too. The hexagon having equal sides is called a regular hexagon and the one with different sides is called an irregular hexagon. How are Hexagons Classified?I had attempted to go with the graph paper option, and tracing out my own shapes…but I just don’t have time for that. I also could have Since one of the interior angles of the hexagon has a measure greater than 180°, the hexagon is a concave hexagon. Hexagon properties To find the perimeter of an irregular hexagon, find the sum of the lengths of the sides of the hexagon. Depending on the hexagon and the provided information, this may involve breaking the hexagon up into triangles and using a variety of triangle formulas to find the side lengths of the hexagon. Hexagon diagonals A hexagon has 9 diagonals. A regular hexagon has 6 short diagonals and 3 long diagonals. The diagonals of a hexagon are line segments joining two non-consecutive vertices. Three diagonals can be drawn from each vertex for a total of nine diagonals in any hexagon.

An irregular hexagon has at least one unequal side and angle when compared to the other sides and angles. There is no definite measurement of each of the angles, but the sum of all 6 interior angles is always 720°, and the sum of all 6 exterior angles is 360°. What are the Three Attributes of a Hexagon? Just as a reminder, the apothem is the distance between the midpoint of any side and the center. You can view it as the height of the equilateral triangle formed by taking one side and two radii of the hexagon (each of the colored areas in the image above). Alternatively, one can also think about the apothem as the distance between the center, and any side of the hexagon since the Euclidean distance is defined using a perpendicular line. A hexagon has six sides. All six sides join together and form a closed shape known as a hexagon. In a regular hexagon, all six sides are of equal lengths, while in an irregular hexagon, there is no definite relationship between the sides as they are different in measure. What is the Perimeter of a Hexagon? This handy hexagon template worksheet gives your children the opportunity to show how much they've learned about this topic. Convex Hexagon: This is a hexagon in which all the interior angles measure less than 180°. Convex hexagons can be regular or irregular, which means they can have equal or unequal side lengths and angles. All the vertices of the convex hexagon are pointed outwards.A convex hexagon has no angles pointing inwards. More precisely, no internal angles can be more than 180°. Hexagons can be classified based on their side lengths and internal angles. Considering the sides and angles of a hexagon, the types of the hexagon are: If you want to get exotic, you can play around with other different shapes. For example, suppose you divide the hexagon in half (from vertex to vertex). In that case, you get two trapezoids, and you can calculate the area of the hexagon as the sum of them. You could also combine two adjacent triangles to construct a total of 3 different rhombuses and calculate the area of each separately. You can even decompose the hexagon in one big rectangle (using the short diagonals) and 2 isosceles triangles! For the regular triangle, all sides are of the same length, which is the length of the side of the hexagon they form. We will call this a. And the height of a triangle will be h = √3/2 × a, which is the exact value of the apothem in this case. We remind you that √ means square root. Using this, we can start with the maths:
