Question

Construct a regular hexagon of side 3.0 cm.

Answer 1

Draw a new circle with radius of 3 cm. Where the new circle intersects the old circle becomes the center of a new circle which will have a 3 cm radius. Continue this process until you have 6 equally spaced points around your original circle. Connect theses points, you will have a regular hexagon with eachside 3 cm.

Answer 2

Answer:

Steps of Construction :

1. Draw a line segment AB = 3cm
2. At A, construct ∠FAB = 120° and AF = 3cm
3. At B, construct ∠ABC = 120° and BC = 3cm
4. At C, construct ∠BCD = 120° and CD = 3cm
5. At F, construct ∠AFE = 120° and FE = 3cm

6. Join ED.

ABCDEF is the required hexagon.
