Why can't we form a platonic solid using hexagons?
Because the hexagons angles are 120 degrees and the platonic solid wuld add up more than 360 degrees
Why does a regular pentagon not tessellate the plane?
In order for a polygon to tessellate, the angles must add up to 360 degrees, to come full circle. Triangles have 60 degree angles, so 6 of them circle together. Squares have 90 degree angles, so 4 of them tessellate to a point. Hexagons can even tessellate, because the 120 degree angles add up to 360. But pentagons have 108 degree angles. Three of them add up to 324, only leaving 36 degrees left to close the circle.
Does a hexagon have acute angles?
Regular hexagons have all obtuse angles
How many acute angles are in a hexagonal prism?
None. Though there can be ten if the hexagons are concave hexagons.
What do the angles in a 15 sided polygon add up to?
Exterior angles add up to 360 degrees Interior angles add up to 2340 degrees
What do hexagons and triangles have in common?
Exterior angles of both polygons add up to 360 degrees
How many angles does a hexagons have on your home work?
A 6 sided hexagon has 6 exterior angles that add up to 360 degrees and 6 interior angles that add up to 720 degrees
What do Hexagons and octagons have in common?
They are both polygons whose exterior angles add up to 360 degrees.
What are some polygons with six angles?
Regular and irregular 6 sided hexagons have 6 interior angles that add up to 720 degrees.
What are facts about hexagons that are only on one question?
It is a 6 sided irregular or regular polygon whose interior angles add up to 720 degrees and its exterior angles add up to 360 degrees.
Why do regular hexagons of the same size tesselate?
Because their angles are factors of 360 degrees and angles around a point add up to 360 degrees
Why can't we form a platonic solid using hexagons?
Because the hexagons angles are 120 degrees and the platonic solid wuld add up more than 360 degrees
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
How much does hexagons angles add up to?
720 because the angle sum is the (number of sides minus 2) multiplied by 180.
Do hexagons have 6 equal angles?
Only equiangular and regular hexagons have six equal angles. Hexagons do not have to have six equal angles, and the only way a hexagon can have six equal angles if it is equiangular or regular.
Do hexagons have obtuse angles?
yes
