Fun Facts About Regular Hexagons

A regular hexagon is one of the most recognizable geometrical shapes in mathematics and nature. Here are some interesting facts about this six-sided polygon:

It has 6 equal sides connected by straight lines.
It has 6 equal interior angles, with each angle measuring 120°.
The sum of all interior angles is 720°.
It has 6 vertices, or corner points.
It has 6 lines of symmetry.
It has rotational symmetry of order 6, meaning it looks the same after every 60° rotation.
A regular hexagon can be divided into six equilateral triangles that meet at the center.
The area of hexagon formula is Area = (3√3 ÷ 2) × side², while the perimeter of hexagons is found by multiplying one side by six.
Hexagons tessellate perfectly, meaning they fit together without gaps or overlaps.

Because of their strength, efficiency, and symmetry, hexagons are commonly found in honeycombs, floor tiles, engineering, architecture, graphic arts and quilting.
