This pattern repeats within the regular triangular tiling.Ī regular hexagon can be extended into a regular dodecagon by adding alternating squares and equilateral triangles around it. A regular hexagon can be dissected into six equilateral triangles by adding a center point. A regular hexagon can be stellated with equilateral triangles on its edges, creating a hexagram. The total of the internal angles of any simple (non-self-intersecting) hexagon is 720°.Ī regular hexagon has Schläfli symbol.
In geometry, a hexagon (from Greek ἕξ, hex, meaning 'six', and γωνία, gonía, meaning 'corner, angle') is a six-sided polygon. Convex, cyclic, equilateral, isogonal, isotoxal
