Compasses.

Use a pair of compasses, and draw a circle with a radius of the length you wish the hexagon sides to be.

Place the point of the compass at any point on the circumference on the circle and - without changing the distance between the pencil and the point, mark the two places where range of the pencil crosses the circumference. go to the marks you made and make two new marks on the circumference where the range of the pencil crosses it. From one of these marks make a sixth mark.

Now, join each mark to its neighbours by a straight line.

Protractor.

Draw a straight line and make two marks on it, as far apart as you wish the sides of the hexagon to be. At each point, centre the protractor and mark where 60º is from the mark on the line. Join the two marks and measure out the length of the side of the hexagon.

Repeat the angle-measuring from the two new points, to get the last two angles of the hexagon. Join each mark to its neighbours by a straight line.
