A hexagon has six sides and angles; ''hex'' means 6.
6 sides because the prefix hex means 6.
a hexagon has 6 sides (I always remembered hex vaguely resembles six), and a pentagon has 5 sides. So a hexagon has 1 more side than a pentagon.
Every hexagon has six sides. That's what the "hex" in hexagon means. Every polygon comes in two flavors and the hexagon can be either one of them ... 'regular' or 'irregular'. If the hexagon is a regular one, then all six of its sides are congruent. If the hexagon is an irregular one, then 2, 3, 4, 5, or none of its sides may be congruent.
The word "hexagon" is derived from the prefix "hex" (which means six) and the suffix "gon" (which means angle). Therefore, a hexagon will have six interior angles (as well as six exterior sides).
