A regular hexagon has 6 lines of symmetry.
This means that you can fold a regular hexagon along these lines, and each half will match perfectly. The lines of symmetry pass through the vertices and the midpoints of the opposite sides. In a regular hexagon, these lines can be visualized as:
- Three lines that connect the opposite vertices.
- Three lines that run through the midpoints of opposite sides.
Because of this equal distribution of angles and sides, the hexagon exhibits a high degree of symmetry, making it visually appealing and mathematically interesting.
