regular hexagon

Symmetric six-sided polygon

A regular hexagon is a six-sided polygon with all sides equal in length and all interior angles equal—each measuring 120 degrees.

The shape appears throughout nature and design: honeycomb cells, nuts and bolt heads, and tile patterns.

Its geometric efficiency makes it ideal for tessellation, fitting together without gaps.
