The figure below shows a regular hexagon inscribed in a circle. Look at the hexagon and mark T for true or F for false. a. © Aregular hexagon has 7 equal sides. b. O We can divide this hexagon in 6 triangles. c. O aillthe triangles in the hexagon are equal. 1. C) The distance between the vertices of the hexagon and its center is equal to the side length of the hexagon, We can draw a regular hexagon of any side length by following the steps below. Number them, in the correct order. CO Connect each point to the ones next to it, and you will have a hexagon with the desired measurements. © Open the compass to the measure you want each side of your hexagon to have. CO Set the needle point at either B or C and repeat the process to the side of the point that doesn't have an arc crossing the circle yet. Call this point D. (CE Draw a point to be the center of your hexagon. Call it O for Origin. CO with the circle drawn, draw a point anywhere you want a vertex of your hexagon to be. callit O Set the needle point on point A and draw an arc to the right and one to the left of A where the arcs cross the circle. Cal these points B and C. CO Set the needle point of your open compass on the point O and draw a circle. CO Set the needle point on D and repeat the process to create point E. Do the same to the newly drawn point E to create point F 16 Exclusive Additional Resources + Lesson 8 &
