When the length of all the sides and measure of all the angles are equal, it is a regular hexagon, otherwise it is an irregular hexagon.

⟿ Properties of a Regular Hexagon

➧ All the sides are equal in length. 

➧ All the interior angles measure 120°.

➧ The sum of all the interior angles of a regular hexagon is 720°.

➧ Regular hexagons can be split into 6 equilateral tringles all of the same size.

➧ Regular hexagons can fit together without any gaps , forming tessellations.
