What is a Hexagon?

A hexagon is a polygon with six sides and six angles. The sum of the interior angles of a hexagon is always 720 degrees. Each interior angle of a regular hexagon measures 120 degrees.

Types of Hexagons

There are two main types of hexagons:

1. Regular Hexagon: All six sides and angles are equal in measure.
2. Irregular Hexagon: The sides and/or angles are not equal in measure.

Properties of a Hexagon

Here are some key properties of a hexagon:

• Sum of interior angles: 720 degrees
• Each interior angle of a regular hexagon: 120 degrees
• Number of sides: 6
• Number of diagonals: 9
