What is the relationship between the perimeter of the hexagon and the circumference of the circle?
A hexagon is divided into 6 equilateral triangles; the circle around the hexagon has a radius the length of one of these triangles. So the circumference is S x 2pi, s being the side of the hexagon. The perimeter of the hexagon is 6s. So the relationship is that you multiply it by 1/3 pi
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.

How can you tell using the corner of a sheet that a hexagon has obtuse angles?
The corner of a normal sheet of paper is 90 degrees. So an angle of the hexagon is obtuse if you can put the corner of the sheet on a vertex of the hexagon and the angle of the hexagon is bigger.
