There are several possible measures of a hexagon.A measure could be the length of a side. In that case, if it is regular or equilateral you can measure its side length; if not you need to measure each side.
A measure could be its area, in which case you would need to calculate it - form its side lengths and, in not regular, the angles.
To construct a hexagon, you need a compass, a straightedge (ruler), and a pencil. Start by drawing a circle with the compass; the radius will determine the size of the hexagon. Then, using the same radius, mark off six equal points around the circle's circumference, which will serve as the vertices of the hexagon. Finally, connect these points with straight lines to complete the hexagon.
An octagon has 8 sides whereas an hexagon has 6 sides
The answer depends on what you mean by size: its area (more likely) or perimeter. In either case, the answer depends on what information you have about the hexagon: whether it is regular, irregular but convex, or concave.
Yes.. depending on the size of the hexagon's sides
Providing that it is a regular 6 sided hexagon then each exterior angle measures 60 degrees
The answer depends on the size of the hexagon.
A hexagon can be any size as long as it is a shape with 6 sides.
The answer depends on the size of the triangles relative to the size of the hexagon. flippant answer: infinite answer you are probably looking for: 6

120 degrees
Providing that it is a regular 6 sided hexagon then each exterior angle measures 60 degrees
You can do that by simply proving that the hexagon is a regular hexagon. You could do this by dividing the hexagon into 6 equilateral triangles of the same size successfully that tesselate to form a hexagon, thus proving that all sides are equal.
there are six angles in a hexagon. In a regular hexagon (all of the angles are the same size) they each measure 120 degrees
The term hexagon means a six sided regular polygon; it is a shape, not a size. It can be any number of inches you like.
