What is a Regular Hexagon?
A regular hexagon is a polygon with six equal sides and six equal interior angles. Each interior angle of a regular hexagon is exactly 120°. It is one of the most efficient shapes for tiling a plane without gaps (tessellation).

Pro Tips
A regular hexagon can be divided into six equilateral triangles.
The perimeter is simply 6 times the side length.
The long diagonal of a regular hexagon is twice the side length.
