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

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.
this concept is used by engineers. as they have to design buildings.
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.
