This type of polygon is called a hexagon. "Hex-" is a greek root, meaning 6. A polygon is a geometric plane figure consisting of at least 3 straight sides and angles, such as a triangle or square. Because "hex-" means 6, you know that a polygon that has 6 sides and 6 angles is a hexagon. As another example, "octo-" means 8, so a polygon that has 8 sides and 8 angles would be called an octagon.
