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.

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).

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 language of origin of "hexagon" is Greek. It comes from the combination of the Greek words "hex" meaning "six" and "gonia" meaning "angle," describing a shape with six angles or sides.
