How many sides and angles does a hexagon have?
A hexagon has 6 sides and 6 angles. The prefix comes from the Greek 'hex' for six.
What is the prefix for heptagon or septagon?
The prefix hept- comes from Greek "hepta" and means "seven." The prefix "sept- comes from the Latin "septem," which means "seven." The correct English name for a 7-sides polygon is "heptagon." Those who do not understand that English polygon names are derived from Greek, not from Latin, sometimes incorrectly name a 7-sided polygon as a septagon.
What does a three dimensional hexagon look like?
The answer really depends on what is meant by a three dimensional hexagon. The following are options for regular shapes. 1. The word polygon comes from Greek and the suffix "gon" refers to angles. If you think of a six-angled 3-d object, it would be two pyramids with their square bases joined together. 2. If you are thinking of a 3-d object with six faces, then it is a cube. 3. If you are thinking of a 3-d object each of whose faces is a hexagon, the answer is that such a figure cannot exist. The solid will "collapse" into a 2-d tessellation. The nearest you can get is the truncated icosahedron which is the shape of a soccer ball (or the C60 Buckminsterfullerene molecule). It comprises 12 regular pentagonal faces and 20 regular hexagonal faces.
How many vertices does a polygon have?
A polygon is a closed shape with straight sides. The number of vertices a polygon has is equal to the number of corners or points where the sides meet. For example, a triangle has 3 vertices, a quadrilateral has 4 vertices, a pentagon has 5 vertices, and so on. In general, an n-sided polygon will have n vertices.
