How many angles does a hexagon have?
A 6 sided hexagon has 6 angles that add up to 720 degrees
What 2 shapes can you get when you cut a hexagon?
The answer depends on how you cut it.Even with a single straight cut you can get:a triangle and a heptagon,a triangle and a hexagon,a triangle and a pentagon,a quadrilateral and a hexagon,a quadrilateral and a pentagon,two quadrilaterals (trapezium),two pentagons.
What 2 geometric figures make a hexagon?
2 trapezoids.
How many trapezoids do you need to make a hexagon?
there are 2 draw a line down the center of the hexagon
Why are hexagons so common in nature?
It's one of the only shapes which tessellates perfectly (think tiles, if you tiled a wall with hexagons then there wouldn't be any gaps. Of the shapes which tessellate perfectly (triangle, square, hexagon) it has the smallest perimeter for its area i.e. a square of area 10cm^2 has a greater perimeter than that of a hexagon with an area of 10cm^2. So, if you were a bee trying to make a honeycomb then the hexagon is best because it would use least wax to make a certain area of comb (because of the perimeter/area ratio) and also not waste any space (because it tessellates without leaving any gaps). Hope that helps.
