kuusikulmiota

Kuusikulmiota, also known as a hexagon, is a polygon with six sides and six angles. In a regular hexagon, all sides are of equal length, and all interior angles are equal, measuring 120 degrees each. The sum of the interior angles of any hexagon, regular or irregular, is 720 degrees.

Hexagons are a common shape in nature and human-made structures. Honeycombs are a well-known example, where the hexagonal structure of the cells provides maximum strength and efficiency for storing honey. This shape is also found in some crystals, such as snowflakes and some mineral formations. In architecture, hexagonal patterns are often used for their aesthetic appeal and structural integrity, for instance, in tiling and paving.

The area of a regular hexagon can be calculated using the formula A = (3√3/2) * s², where 's' represents the length of one side. The perimeter of a regular hexagon is simply 6 times the length of one side (P = 6s). Due to their symmetry and efficient use of space, hexagons are frequently employed in various fields, including engineering, design, and mathematics.
