<p class="center"><img src="images/soap-bubbles-hexagon.jpg" width="246" height="178" alt="soap bubbles hexagons" /><br>

Soap bubbles tend to form hexagons<br>
|
|
when they join up.</p>
|
|
<p class="center"><img src="images/honeycomb2.jpg" width="300" height="219" alt="honeycomb hexagons" /><br>

Honeycomb has hexagons too!</p>

<h2>Regular or Irregular</h2>
|
|
<p>When all angles are equal and all sides are equal it is <b>regular</b>, otherwise it is<b> irregular</b>:</p>

<h2>Concave or Convex</h2>
|
|
<p>A <b>convex</b> <span class="center">hexagon</span> has no angles pointing inwards. More precisely, no internal angles can be more than 180°. </p>
|
|
<p>When any internal angle is greater than 180° it is <b>concave</b>. (<i>Think: concave has a "cave" in it</i>)</p>

<h2>Properties</h2>

|
<p style="float:right; margin: 0 0 5px 10px;"><img src="images/hexagon-regular.svg" alt="Regular Hexagon" /></p>
|
|
<p>A <b>regular</b> hexagon has:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><a href="interior-angles-polygons.html">Interior Angles</a> of <b>120°</b></li>
|
|
<li><a href="exterior-angles-polygons.html">Exterior Angles</a> of <b>60°</b></li>
|
|
<li>Area = <b>(1.5√3) × s<sup>2</sup></b> , or approximately <b>2.5980762 × s<sup>2</sup></b> (where s=side length)</li>
|
|
<li>Radius equals side length </li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p class="center"><img src="images/hexagon-regular-radius.svg" alt="Regular Hexagon radius of side length" /><br>
|
|
The radius is the side length.<br>
|
|
It is also made of 6 regular triangles!</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><b>Any</b> hexagon has:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Sum of Interior Angles of <b>720°</b></li>
|
|
<li>9 <a href="polygons-diagonals.html">diagonals</a></li>

Hexagonal nuts and bolts are easy to grip with a wrench, <br>
|
|
which can be re-positioned every 60° if needed.</p>
