Hexagon

Math

A hexagon is a polygon and is a six-sided polygon. It is constructible using a compass and straightedge.

Measurements
The area of a hexagon is \(\frac{3\sqrt{3}}{2}t^2\), where t is the side length of the hexagon. The perimeter is equal to \(6t\).

Construction

 * 1) Draw a circle.
 * 2) On the right, measure the radius and move the compass (without changing the radius) to the circumference of the circle.
 * 3) Draw it to the other side.
 * 4) Repeat steps 2 and 3 on the left side.
 * 5) Complete the regular hexagon.
