Does a pentagon and hexagon have parallel lines?

A hexagon has three pairs of parallel sides. A pentagon has no lines parallel. Above answer is correct but only if they are regular hexagon and pentagons. A non-regular hexagon can have as little as none parallel lines. A non-regular pentagon can have two parallel lines.


Do you divide the height of the hexagon when you are make it in to a trapezoid?

The answer depends on whether or not the hexagon is regular, partly regular or totally irregular. In the last case it will not help. It also depends on whether you start off with a regular hexagon standing with one vertex above another or standing on one of its sides!

2 parallel lines * * * * * The above answer is not wholly correct. A hexagon can have one, two or three pairs of parallel lines: a regular hexagon has 3 pairs.

What is the minimum number of degrees that a regular hexagon cannot be rotated before it carries onto itself?

The smallest possible value above 0 degrees.


What is the formula for calculating the volume of a hexagonal shape?

First we assume it is a regular hexagon meaning all the angles are the same and the sides are the same length. Recalling that a regular hexagon can be broken up into 6 triangles, we find the area of the hexagon by finding the area of one triangle and multiply by six. (recall the area of triangle is Height x 1/2 Base ) You can also find the area of a hexagon using the formula Area==ap/2 where a is the apothem and p is the perimeter. But that just gives you the area of the 2 dimensional base, not the volume. To calculate the volume, multiply the area found above by the height of the hexagonal container.

What is the sum of the measure of the interior angle of a regular polygon if each interior angle measures120?

6*120 = 720 degrees * * * * * A merge seems to have mixed up the above answer, which is correct for a hexagon. In general, the sum of the interior angles of a polygon of n sides is (n - 2)*180 degrees. Whether the polygon is regular or not is irrelevant.

What 3D shape has 6 triangles and 1 hexagon?

The 3D shape with 6 triangles and 1 hexagon is known as a hexagonal prism. In this geometric figure, the two hexagonal bases are connected by six rectangular faces, while each triangular face is formed by connecting the vertices of the hexagon to a point above or below the hexagon, creating a pyramid-like structure.
