A hexagon has six sides. The term ‘hexagon’ is derived from the Greek words ‘hex’ meaning six and ‘gonia’ meaning angles. Therefore, a hexagon is a six-sided polygon with six angles. Each side of a regular hexagon is of equal length, and each internal angle measures 120 degrees. This makes the hexagon a common shape in both nature and human-made structures, such as honeycombs and bolts.
