Hexagon

hexagon, in geometry, a six-sided polygon. In a regular hexagon, all sides are the same length, and each internal angle is 120 degrees. The area of a regular hexagon is commonly determined with the formula: area = ^3√3/₂× side²In an irregular hexagon, the sides are of unequal length, and each internal angle can be more or less than 120 degrees. Regular hexagons can be used to pack the most number of units into a flat plane with no wasted space and with a minimum perimeter. Hexagons are not only commonly found in nature, they are also used in various types of human designs and data displays.
