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 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)
