Geometric Construction
11 Create a Hexagon
If we think of a hexagon inside a circle, it has a radius equal to the length of any given side. This makes it quite easy to construct.
- Set your compass to the desired radius or side length.
- Draw a circle.
- Using the same radius, swing it along the circumference six times. Remember, this creates 60° sectors.
- Connect the points to create the hexagon.
definition
the distance from center to any point of the circumference, half the diameter
the distance around a circle, perimeter of a circle
