Kuusnurkne

Kuusnurkne is the Estonian word for hexagon. A hexagon is a six-sided polygon, which means it is a shape with six straight sides and six angles. The sum of the interior angles of any hexagon is 720 degrees.

There are two main types of hexagons: regular and irregular. A regular hexagon has all sides of equal length and all interior angles equal. In a regular hexagon, each interior angle measures 120 degrees. An irregular hexagon does not have equal sides or equal angles.

Hexagons are found in nature and in human-made objects. Honeycombs are a well-known example of hexagons in nature, where bees construct hexagonal cells to store honey and pollen. This shape is efficient for space utilization and structural strength. Many crystals also exhibit hexagonal symmetry. In design and architecture, hexagonal shapes are used for their stability and aesthetic appeal, appearing in floor tiles, patterns, and even some structural components. The hexagon is a fundamental geometric shape with numerous applications.
