I believe is a heptagon after a hexagon and after a heptagon is a octagon.
A pentagon has 5 sides. A hexagon has 6 sides. The penta- prefix comes from the Greek for 5; The hexa- prefix comes from the Greek for 6. The -gon suffix comes from the Greek for "corner" or "angle". Thus a pentagon is a five cornered (or five angled) shape; and a hexagon is a six cornered (or six angled) shape.
After hexagon comes a heptagon, which is a seven-sided polygon. The prefix "hepta-" denotes seven in Greek, just as "hexa-" denotes six. Each additional side added to a polygon increases the number of sides by one, following the pattern of polygon naming based on Greek numerical prefixes.

hexagon
An irregular hexagon.
I suppose its Hexagon.
A hexagon has 6 sides and 6 angles. The prefix comes from the Greek 'hex' for six.
Pentagon
Yes, it comes from the word εξάγωνο (eksagono).
decagon.

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 answer is a Nonagon. Hope this helps!!
The word hexagon is derived from the Greek word 'hexagonon'. A hexagon is a six-sided figure that has straight sides. Each angle in a hexagon is 120 degrees.
142 * * * * * What?! A hexagon is a polygon - a closed plane shape - which is bounded by six straight lines. The name comes from the Greek prefix hex- for six.
After hexagon comes a heptagon, which is a seven-sided polygon. The prefix "hepta-" denotes seven in Greek, just as "hexa-" denotes six. Each additional side added to a polygon increases the number of sides by one, following the pattern of polygon naming based on Greek numerical prefixes.
When referring to it as a hexagon is not a faux pas.
