Draw a regular hexagon. Then take any vertex and move it towards or away from the opposite vertex, taking both arms of the angle. Another way of saying the same thing is stretch (or shrink) a pair of opposite sides.
Yes and it will have 6 equal sides
Assuming the hexagon is equilateral (all six sides are the same length) 1) Draw a straight line from each angle in the hexagon (where the sides meet each other) to the angle on the opposite side of the hexagon. You have divided the hexagon into 6 parts now. 2) Find the center point of each line forming the sides of the hexagon. Draw a line from each center point to the opposite side's center point so that all lines drawn are at right angles to the sides. You will have 12 equal parts
i don't no either does it have equal sides? or not? although i no its a quadrilateral and has opposite angles and equal parallel sides
As a hexagon has six sides, it also has six angles. Three hundred sixty dgrees make a complete circle, so three hundred sixty degrees divided by six angles makes... sixty degrees each. Oddly, if you draw six equilateral triangles with sides of equal length, and put them together, they will visually display to you what I explained above as a hexagonal shape.
If 1 or 2 of the obtuse angles are 'bent into' the hexagon then you can do it.A hexagon has 720° sum of interior angles. If you have 2 right angles, then that's 180°, leaving 540° to be distributed over four angles. If the two acute angles are 89°, then that leaves 362° to be divided between two angles, so at least one of these two angles will need to be greater than 180°. Below is my text graphics attempt of one possibility (ignore the 'dot'). Note that both of the obtuse angles are greater than 180°:|\_/||__.|Look at the related link to play with different angle possibilities for polygons.
A hexagon can be drawn either with a compass or round object, or free hand. A hexagon has six equal sides and six equal angles. For a perfect hexagon, a compass is recommended. * * * * * While a hexagon does have six sides and six vertices, these need not be equal. If the sides are all equal AND the angles are equal, then the hexagon is a regular hexagon.
A shape with 6 sides is a hexagon. A shape, that is, with 6 EQUAL sides.
Yes and it will have 6 equal sides
A hexagon is a geometric shape with six sides. To draw one, draw a polygon with six sides.
A regular hexagon with 6 equal sides will have 3 lines of symmetry
Assuming the hexagon is equilateral (all six sides are the same length) 1) Draw a straight line from each angle in the hexagon (where the sides meet each other) to the angle on the opposite side of the hexagon. You have divided the hexagon into 6 parts now. 2) Find the center point of each line forming the sides of the hexagon. Draw a line from each center point to the opposite side's center point so that all lines drawn are at right angles to the sides. You will have 12 equal parts
You cannot draw a hexagon into a pentagon since their sides are completely different! A hexagon has 6 sides while a pentagon has 5.
i don't no either does it have equal sides? or not? although i no its a quadrilateral and has opposite angles and equal parallel sides
A dodecagon can be drawn by drawing a polygon with 12 sides and 12 angles. All sides and angles have to be equal. * * * * * The first sentence is correct, the second is utter nonsense. There is no reason for a dodecagon - or a polygon with any number of sides - to have equal sides or equal angles.
As a hexagon has six sides, it also has six angles. Three hundred sixty dgrees make a complete circle, so three hundred sixty degrees divided by six angles makes... sixty degrees each. Oddly, if you draw six equilateral triangles with sides of equal length, and put them together, they will visually display to you what I explained above as a hexagonal shape.
Since there are six sides to a regular hexagon and every side is equal in measure to find the measure of each side you would divide 720 by 6120 degreesTo properly explain why you divide 720 by 6:The sum of the measures of the interior angles of a triangle is 180 degrees. Since you can draw 4 triangles in a hexagon, the total of the angles is 4 * 180, or 720. Divide that by the number of sides in a hexagon and you get the interior angle (120 degrees).
