Understanding Hexagons

This video from MooMooMath and Science explains the properties of a hexagon, a six-sided polygon. It covers the characteristics of regular polygons, the formula for calculating the sum of interior angles, and how to find the measure of interior and central angles. The video also explains how to determine the number of diagonals in a hexagon and how to calculate its area using the apothem. Additionally, it touches on the concept of irregular hexagons, which do not have equal sides or angles.

What is a characteristic of a regular polygon?

• It has more than six sides.

• It includes curves.

• It has equal length sides and equal angles.

• It has sides of different lengths.

How many equal sides does a regular hexagon have?

• 7

• 4

• 5

• 6

What is the sum of all interior angles of a hexagon?

• 900 degrees

• 540 degrees

• 360 degrees

• 720 degrees

How many diagonals can be found in a hexagon?

• 3

• 6

• 12

• 9

What is the formula to find the apothem of a hexagon if the side length is known?

• Apothem = side - 2Tan(180/number of sides)

• Apothem = side + 2Tan(180/number of sides)

• Apothem = side * 2Tan(180/number of sides)

• Apothem = side / 2Tan(180/number of sides)

What defines an irregular hexagon?

• It is a circle.

• It has equal sides and angles.

• It has unequal sides or angles.

• It has more than six sides.
