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.
It is a square of that factor. E.g. 5 is a distinct factor of 25. If you multiply that distinct factor by itself (5*5) you get 25. A square comes from the x^2 notation and is any number which has a factor which is multiplied by itself.
No. No shape with 7 or more sides will tessellate with multiple copies of itself. All traigles and quadrilaterals will tessellate, there are 14 irregular pentagons (the last was discovered in 2016), and a number of hexagons - including the regular hexagon.

A perfect square
no
60 degrees
360/6 = 60 degrees.
The smallest possible value above 0 degrees.
the word hexagon is used as an alternative name for France itself because of the general shape of the country, which fits (very roughly) in an hexagon.
Yes because each interior angle is 120 degrees and angles around a point add up to 360 degrees
each bee has 9 Hexagons of the honeycomb to itself.

Hexagon, hexagram, hexadecimal, hexavalent (as in chromium) "Hex" is a word in and of itself, as well.

it's just a vertex to a another vertex besides the sides itself
