A hexagon is a 6-sided polygon. It is also the truncated triangle. It is one of the regular polygons that can tile the plain.
Coordinates
The coordinates of a regular hexagon of side 2 are:
(±1, ±√3)
(0, ±2)
Equations
- The area of a regular hexagon with side length l is equal to six times the area of an equilateral triangle with side length l, i.e.:
3√3∕2 · l2
- Because the diameter of a hexagon is twice its side length, the area of a hexagon with diameter l is a quarter of this, i.e.:
3√3∕8 · l2
Dissection
The hexagon of side 1 may be dissected into:
Incidence matrix
Usage as facets
- prism: 2× 1-facets of a hexagonal prism
- 20× 1-facets of a truncated icosahedron
- 8× 1-facets of a truncated octahedron
