A hexagon is a polygon with six edges and six vertices.
Regular hexagons
- Main article: Regular hexagon
Each internal angle of a regular hexagon measures 120 degrees, so the sum of the angles is 
.
A regular hexagon can be divided into 6 equilateral triangles where the apothem is the height of these triangles.
Area: 
Where 
is the side length of the hexagon.
