Start by drawing a regular hexagon.
Now move one of the vertices either a little way towards, or away from the centre of the hexagon, and redraw the lines joining it to its neighbour vertices.
To construct using a straight edge and a compass:
- Construct a regular hexagon:
- Draw a circle; call its centre O.
- Mark a point on the circumference of the circle.
- Keeping the compass set to the same width (the radius of the circle), draw an arc to intercept the circle with the centre on the marked point.
- Repeat step 3 using the last arc-circumference intercept as the centre for the next arc until 6 marks have been made.
- Label the marks in the order they were drawn A, B, ..., F
- Draw in only the lines BC, CD, DE, EF (that is miss out lines AB and FA which would complete the regular hexagon).
- Draw in the line AOD (if the vertices were marked properly in construction, these will lie on a diameter of the circle) and extend it either side of the circle.
- Mark a point beyond A on AOD and call it G.
- Draw in lines GB and FG.
Hexagon GBCDEF is an irregular hexagon with one line of symmetry, namely GAOD.

How do you draw lines of symmetry lines in a regular hexagon?
From each vertex to its opposite vertex. These will be centered on a shared point at the center of the hexagon. Each complete line will be a line of symmetry for the hexagon.
Does a hexagon have a line of symmetry?
It can.
How many lines of symmetry does a regular hexagon has?
A regular hexagon has 2 lines of symmetry. 1 line verticle and 1 line horizontal.
Shapes with no line of symmetry?
All regular shapes have a line of symmetry. But you can get rid of its line of symmetry by making it irregular (so the angles aren't the same).
Does the number eight have a vertical line of symmetry?
yes the number 8 has a vertical line of symmetry. and depending on how you draw it also a horizontal line of symmetry.

How would you describe a hexagon?
you can describe the hexagon by: how many acute angles, obtuse angles, and reflex angles cancave polygon or convex polygon how many sides does it have irregular no line of symmetry or line of symmetry
How many line of symmetry does hexagon has?
A hexagon has 6 lines of symmetry.
Does a hexagon have a line of symmetry?
It can.
What is line of symmetry for the hexagon?
A hexagon can have 0, 1, 2, 3 or 6 lines of symmetry.
Does a hexagon has a line of symmetry?
yeap :)
How many line of symmetry in irregular octagon?
If it is irregular enough, it may have not a single line of symmetry.
How many line of symmetry does have on a hexagon?
It has4 lines of symmetry
What type of symmetry does a regular hexagon have?
Both Rotational and Line Symmetry
How many line of symmetry does a hexagon have?
A hexagon need not have any lines of symmetry. Or, it can have just one line of symmetry. A regular hexagon has six lines of symmetry, including three along the lines bisecting the angles and three along the lines formed by bisecting the sides. A regular hexagon has a rotational order of 6.
How many lines of symmetry does a regular hexagon has?
A regular hexagon has 2 lines of symmetry. 1 line verticle and 1 line horizontal.
