Oh, dude, a 6 sided polygon other than a hexagon is... well, there isn't one. A hexagon is specifically defined as a polygon with six sides. So, if you're looking for another 6 sided shape, you're out of luck. It's like trying to find a substitute for Pizza – it just doesn't exist.

RossA hexagon IS a six sided polygon. A REGULAR hexagon is the shape we tend to think of when we say hexagon because it has equal sides and equal internal angles. However, a hexagon can have unequal sides and internal angles and still be a hexagon. A hexagon is just a shape with six sides.

Are all 6 sided shapes called hexagons?
For a 6 sided shape to be a hexagon, it must (in addition to having 6 sides) be a polygon. To be a polygon, it must be a closed shape (no unlinked lines) and it must be convex (All angles are pointed towards the outside, rather than inwards). If it matches all of these criteria, then it is indeed a hexagon. There are many 6 sided shapes that are not hexagons, including cubes.
Which polygon has fewer sides than a hexagon?
A pentagon, quadrilateral or triangle.
What makes a hexagon and rectangle different?
A hexagon is a six-sided polygon, while a rectangle is a four-sided polygon. The angles in a hexagon add up to 720 degrees, whereas the angles in a rectangle add up to 360 degrees. Additionally, a hexagon does not have any parallel sides, while a rectangle has opposite sides that are parallel and equal in length.
How many triangles can you fit in a regular polygon?
The number of triangles that can be formed within a regular polygon depends on the number of sides the polygon has. For an n-sided polygon, where n is greater than or equal to 3, you can form n-2 triangles within the polygon. This is because each triangle is formed by connecting one vertex to any other two non-adjacent vertices. So, for example, in a regular pentagon (5-sided polygon), you can form 5-2 = 3 triangles.
How many sides are there in a polygon?
A polygon is a closed graphical pattern witch consists of more than 3 lines. Therefore, a "polygon" can have from 3,4,5.... to even 100s and 1000s of sides (although unlikely). Most common polygons: -Triangle -Rectangle -Hexagon -Octagon
