Explore Angles of a Hexagon
and a Regular Hexagon

(using JavaSketchpad - seen below)

Observe:

If you have access to Geometer's SketchPad 4 software, you can download a more complete polygon investigation program from MathBits.com.

  • how you can change the size and shape of a normal hexagon, yet the sum of the interior angles remains the same.
  • how you can change the size of a regular hexagon, yet the sum of the interior angles remains the same and each interior angle remains the same.
  • how the sum of the interior angles of a hexagon is the same for both the regular hexagon and the non-regular hexagon.
