A cell must be designed to serve the weakest mobiles within the footprint, and these are typically located at the edge of the cell. For a given distance between the center of a polygon and its farthest perimeter points, the hexagon has the largest area of the three. Thus, by using the hexagon geometry, the fewest number of cells can cover a geographic region, and the hexagon closely approximates a circular radiation pattern which would occur for an omnidirectional base station antenna and free space propagation

What geometric shape is used in cellular system design?
Hexagon. Although circles would represent a more accurate omnidirectional coverage, when we want to group circles together, they overlap one another. Hexagon doesn't and still has a somewhat 'circular' shape.
Where you use the area and perimeter?
this concept is used by engineers. as they have to design buildings.
What kind of polygon can be used for tessellations?
Hexagon
A different name for a hexagon?
A hexagon can also be called a six sided polygon, sometimes called a 6-gon by mathematicians, but the word hexagon is the most used word.
Why are Bolts hexagon Shape?
Because the circle ones were used for masturbating too much
