A hexagon is a 2-dimensional polygon with six edges. The Bowers acronym for a hexagon is hig. It is one of the regular polygons that can tile 2-D space forming the hexagonal tiling, unlike pentagons, which cannot tile the plane. Hexagons have the greatest numbers of edges and angles of any regular polygon that can tile the plane.

## Structure and Sections

The regular hexagon has equal edge lengths and each angle as 120 degrees. It can be seen as a truncated triangle.

### Hypervolumes

• vertex count = $6$
• edge length = $6l$
• surface area = $\frac{3\sqrt{3}}{2} {l}^{2}$
