When you have two regular hexagons sharing one side what does the outside angle equal?

The shared interior angles add up 240 degrees so the shared outside angles add up to 120 degrees because angles around a point add up to 360 degrees

Is right triangle and a regular hexagon?
There are no right angles in a regular hexagon nor any regular hexagons in a right angle.
Do hexagons always have obtuse angles?
If the particular hexagon is a regular hexagon, then every interior angle is obtuse. However, not every hexagon is regular. Any figure with 6 sides is technically a hexagon, so the answer would be no.
Can a regular pentagon and two regular hexagons meet at a vertex of a tessellation?
No. The interior angle of a regular pentagon is 108 degrees, the interior angle of a regular hexagon is 120 degrees. So, at the vertex, the three polygons will have angles adding up to 108+120+120 = 348 degrees. To tessellate, or cover the surface, they must add to 360 degrees.
How many types of tessellations are?
Tessellations of regular polygons can occur only when the external angle of a polygon is equal to a factor of 360. As such, the only tessellations of regular polygons can occur when the internal angles of a polygon are equal to a factor of 360. As such, the only regular polygons which tessellate are triangles, squares, and hexagons.
What is the angle relationship in a tessellation?
There is no general relationship.All triangles will tessellate. All quadrilaterals will tessellate There are 15 classes of convex pentagons (the latest discovered in 2015) which will tessellate. Regular hexagons will tessellate. In addition, there are 3 classes of irregular convex hexagons which will tessellate. No convex polygon with 7 or more sides will tessellate.
Is right triangle and a regular hexagon?
There are no right angles in a regular hexagon nor any regular hexagons in a right angle.
Why do regular hexogon fit together?
Each interior angle of a regular hexagon is 2*pi/3 radians (120 degrees). Three regular hexagons, meeting at a point, would cover 3*(2*pi/3) = 2*pi radians (360 degrees). Since this is the measure of a full turn, the hexagons fit together.
Do hexagons always have obtuse angles?
If the particular hexagon is a regular hexagon, then every interior angle is obtuse. However, not every hexagon is regular. Any figure with 6 sides is technically a hexagon, so the answer would be no.
What does one side of a hexagons interior angle equal?
120o

No. The interior angle of a regular pentagon is 108 degrees, the interior angle of a regular hexagon is 120 degrees. So, at the vertex, the three polygons will have angles adding up to 108+120+120 = 348 degrees. To tessellate, or cover the surface, they must add to 360 degrees.
What are properties of hexagons?
An exagon is not a commonly known shape. It may possibly be a misspelling or a rare geometric term. Assuming you meant "hexagons", here are some properties of hexagons: Six sides: Hexagons have six straight sides. Six angles: Hexagons have six interior angles, each measuring 120 degrees, making the sum of their angles 720 degrees. Regular or irregular: Hexagons can be regular, with all sides and angles equal, or irregular, with different side lengths and/or angles. Convex or concave: Hexagons can be convex, where all interior angles are less than 180 degrees, or concave, where at least one interior angle is greater than 180 degrees. Symmetry: Regular hexagons possess rotational symmetry of order 6, meaning they can be rotated by multiples of 60 degrees and still appear the same. Diagonals: Hexagons have nine diagonals (lines connecting non-adjacent vertices). Tessellation: Hexagons are an efficient shape for tessellating (covering a plane with no gaps or overlaps) in combination with other hexagons. Symmetrical division: By connecting some of its diagonals, a hexagon can be divided into three congruent parallelograms or six congruent triangles.

What is the use of geometry in sports?
the angle that players kick in soccer the angle they swing the bat in baseball the angle they shoot in basketball soccer balls have pentagons and hexagons on them
What 2d shapes dont tessalate?
A tessellation of congruent regular polygons can occur only when the internal angle of the polygon in question is equal to a factor of 360. So, for example, the internal angle of a square is equal to 90 degrees (a right angle), which divides equally into 360 four times. A regular tessellation can only occur with triangles, squares, and hexagons. Therefore, any other polygons do not tessellate by themselves.
What are facts on hexagons?
well, here are some. hexagons have 6 sides, six angles, rotational symmetry, three lines of symmetry, and the angle sum is 720. :) hope this helped.
Why cant you make a six sided pultonic solid?
If the question is meant to ask why you cannot make a six sided Platonic solid, the answer is you can - a cube,. If the question is meant to ask why you cannot make a Platonic solid with regular hexagons, the answer is that their interior angles are all 120 degrees. A dihedral angle needs three (or more) faces to meet at a point but three hexagons add up to 360 degrees, which forms a plane - not an angle.
