A hexagon is a six-sided polygon with six angles. It can be regular with equal sides and angles or irregular with varying side lengths. Found in nature and architecture it is commonly seen in honeycombs and tiles. Its symmetry and efficiency make it a popular shape in design and engineering.
Chapter 6 of Class 6 Maths covers Perimeter and Area for CBSE Exam 2024-25. It explains how to measure the boundary length of shapes using the perimeter concept and how to calculate the surface covered using the area formula. Students learn formulas for squares and rectangles and apply them to real-life problems in geometry and measurement.

A regular hexagon has 6 equal sides. The perimeter (P) of a hexagon is given by:
P = 6 × side length
Given that P = 24 cm, we solve for the side length:
side length = 24 cm / 6 = 4 cm
Thus, each side of the hexagon is 4 cm.
