It depends on what instruments you have or are allowed to use. That is NOT specified and it is assumed that a compass and ruler are available for use.

To construct a hexagon with sides of length L, draw a circle with centre at a point O and radius L. Pick any point on the circumference of the circle (B). Draw two arcs using the compass with the same radius as before so as to intersect the circumference of the circle at two other points, A and C - one on either side of B. Let the line AO meet the circumference on the far side of the circle at D. Similarly, BO at E and CO at F. Then ABCDEFA is a hexagon with sides of length L.
