A hexagon IS a six sided polygon. A REGULAR hexagon is the shape we tend to think of when we say hexagon because it has equal sides and equal internal angles. However, a hexagon can have unequal sides and internal angles and still be a hexagon. A hexagon is just a shape with six sides.

Are all 6 sided shapes called hexagons?
For a 6 sided shape to be a hexagon, it must (in addition to having 6 sides) be a polygon. To be a polygon, it must be a closed shape (no unlinked lines) and it must be convex (All angles are pointed towards the outside, rather than inwards). If it matches all of these criteria, then it is indeed a hexagon. There are many 6 sided shapes that are not hexagons, including cubes.
Which polygon has fewer sides than a hexagon?
A pentagon, quadrilateral or triangle.
How many sides are there in a polygon?
A polygon is a closed graphical pattern witch consists of more than 3 lines. Therefore, a "polygon" can have from 3,4,5.... to even 100s and 1000s of sides (although unlikely). Most common polygons: -Triangle -Rectangle -Hexagon -Octagon
What is a polegon?
A polygon is a plane figure whose boundary is formed by straight lines. The simplest example is a triangle. A square, rectangle, kite, etc are common 4 sided polygons. Polygons can have angles that are greater than 180 degrees (reflex angles), so a 5 pointed star is a ten sided polygon. There is no limit to the number of sides a polygon can have. If all the sides and angles of a polygon have the same measures, it is called a regular polygon.
What is an 100 sided shape called?
100-gon anything polygon that has more than 13 sides is called ___gon. ecept an 11 sided figure which is called a an 11-gon. 3- triangle 4- quadrilateral 5- pentagon 6- hexagon 7- heptagon 8- octagon 9- nonagon 10- decagon 11- 11-gon 12- dodecagon 13- 13-gon 14- 14-gon and so on

What is the definition of convex hexagon?
A convex hexagon is a six-sided polygon in which all interior angles are less than 180 degrees.
What shape is a convex hexagon?
A convex hexagon is a simple polygon whose interior is a convex set. It is a six-sided polygon, and it has no angles pointing inwards, meaning that no internal angles can be more than 180 degrees.

What is the sum of all the angles in a convex hexagon?
The sum of all angles of any polygon does not depend on what kind of polygon it is. It depends on the number of sides a polygon has.So that the sum of all angles of the given hexagon (a 6-sided polygon) is 720°, found by using the formulaSum of a polygon angle measures = 180°(n - 2), where n is the number of sides.Since this is a convex hexagon, all its interior angles are less than 180°.
Which polygon has more sides than a hexegon?
A hexagon has 6 sides so it would be any other polygon greater than 6 sides
