How do you create a hexagon that when you move the points the angles don't change on GSP?
I'm not familiar with GSP, but if you move any vertex of a hexagon then it is no longer a hexagon. In order to maintain the shape (that is, the aspect ratio) you must move all vertices at the same time, relative to the centre of the hexagon.
The easiest way to calculate where each vertex should be placed is to imagine the hexagon is circumscribed with a circle such that all the vertices touch the circle. Thus the centre of the circle is also the centre of the hexagon. So when you move any vertex, you are essentially increasing or decreasing the radius of the circle and/or rotating the circle around its centre. However, the centre never moves so you only need to know the horizontal and vertical distance of the vertex you moved relative to the centre of the circle, and Pythagoras' Theorem tells you the radius of the circle (X2 + Y2 = Z2), and thus you can determine the angle of the hypotenuse relative to the horizontal or vertical plane. Knowing the position of one vertex means you can work out all 6 vertices (hint: they are 60 degrees apart).

Draw a hexagon?
A hexagon can be drawn either with a compass or round object, or free hand. A hexagon has six equal sides and six equal angles. For a perfect hexagon, a compass is recommended. * * * * * While a hexagon does have six sides and six vertices, these need not be equal. If the sides are all equal AND the angles are equal, then the hexagon is a regular hexagon.
Will a hexagon and a square tessellate together?
A hexagon and a square can tessellate together, but they must be arranged in a specific way. When placed side by side, the angles of the hexagon (120 degrees) and the square (90 degrees) can fit together at certain points, allowing them to fill a space without gaps. This arrangement can create interesting patterns, but it may not be as common as tessellations involving only one shape.
How do you inscribe a hexagon in a circle?
To inscribe a hexagon in a circle, start by drawing the circle with a compass. Then, divide the circle into six equal parts, which can be done by marking angles of 60 degrees from the center. Connect these points on the circumference with straight lines to form the hexagon. Each vertex of the hexagon will touch the circle, ensuring it is perfectly inscribed.
What is a convex hexagon?
a polygon with 6 sides * * * * * The fact that is has six sides makes it a hexagon but that does not explain ""convex". A convex polygon is one in which none of the angles is a reflex angle. An alternative definition of convex is that a line joining any two points inside the hexagon is wholly inside the shape.
How many faces do a hexagon have?
one. if you are talking sides points or angles then you would get 8. hex=8 this is because a hexagon is a flat shape and if it is flat, it has one face or surface * * * * * The main answer is correct: only one face. But hex = 6, not 8
What is the distance between 8 points of a hexagon that contains a circle with a 20 foot radius?
But a hexagon has only 6 points while an octagon has 8 points.
What shape has 6 points?
A shape that has 6 points is called a hexagon.
In at most How many points do the diagonals of a convex hexagon intersect?
15 points.
Can you draw a regular hexagon with only a straightedge and compass?
Yes, a regular hexagon can be constructed using only a straightedge and compass. The process involves drawing a circle and marking its center. By dividing the circle into six equal parts using the radius (which corresponds to the side length of the hexagon), you can connect these points to form the hexagon. This method relies on the fact that the angles and sides of a regular hexagon are all equal, and each interior angle measures 120 degrees.

What is needed to construct a hexagon?
To construct a hexagon, you need a compass, a straightedge (ruler), and a pencil. Start by drawing a circle with the compass; the radius will determine the size of the hexagon. Then, using the same radius, mark off six equal points around the circle's circumference, which will serve as the vertices of the hexagon. Finally, connect these points with straight lines to complete the hexagon.
How many points do a hexagon have?
six of course
