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.

Make two hexagons and connect the common points with one straight line.
:L I Need Help With This Do Hexagons, Tesselate ?
They are all plane figures bound by a polygonal path. This means that they are all polygons.
100,000,000,000 sides and 800.000.000.000 edges. Im just kidding. Think " A hexagon has 6 edges. and you want to know how many sides are there in 13 hexagons. So you do 6 times 13 witch is 78. There are 78 sides on 13 hexagons
One hexagon has six sides, so 100 hexagons have 600 sides.
One hexagon has six sides, so 18 hexagons have 6 * 18 = 108
A hexagon has six sides, so seven hexagons will have 6 * 7 = 42 sides.
1 hexagon = 6 sides so 10 hexagons = 10*6 = 60 sides.
30 sides because there are 6 sides on a hexagon and there are 5 Hexagons so 6*5= 30

20 hexagons
A 6 sided hexagon has 6 vertices and so 3 hexagons will have 3*6 = 18 vertices
No. All hexagons are polygons.
Make two hexagons and connect the common points with one straight line.
They are both polygons whose exterior angles add up to 360 degrees.
hexagons fit perfectly with one another so the answer is six. Go to the Related Links below this window for alot more detail.
