Yes, a regular hexagon can be constructed using only a straightedge and compass. The process involves drawing a circle and marking its center. By dividing the circle into six equal parts using the radius (which corresponds to the side length of the hexagon), you can connect these points to form the hexagon. This method relies on the fact that the angles and sides of a regular hexagon are all equal, and each interior angle measures 120 degrees.

To inscribe a hexagon inside a circle, you can use a compass and a straightedge. First, draw a circle with the compass. Then, without changing the compass width, place the compass point on the circle's circumference and mark off six equal segments around the circle, which will naturally form the vertices of the hexagon. Finally, connect these points with a straightedge to complete the hexagon.
A regular hexagon can be constructed using only a straightedge because it can be formed by connecting six equidistant points on a circle. While the hexagon itself does not contain circles, its vertices can be defined using simple geometric principles, such as dividing a circle into six equal parts and connecting those points with straight lines. Therefore, the construction relies on the properties of straight lines rather than the use of a compass to draw circles.
Measuring implies using a measuring device of some kind. If you mean to construct a hexagon without a protractor or ruler, that's different. Constructions in geometry require only a compass and a straightedge (a ruler, but you ignore the numbers). A hexagon can be made of 6 equilateral triangles; choose any length for the side and construct them connected together, using only the compass to set the length and the straightedge to draw straight lines between points.
The compass is used to measure angles. The straightedge is used to draw a straight line. The two items together, are used to measure and draw angles and lines in geometric drawings.

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.
