How many sides does a hexagon have?

A hexagon is a polygon with six sides and six angles. All interior angles of a regular hexagon are equal and each measures 120 degrees. Hexagons are found in nature and architecture like honeycombs. They have symmetrical properties and are commonly used in geometry and tiling patterns.

Patterns in mathematics help identify regularities in numbers shapes and arrangements. These patterns can be numerical geometric or logical. Recognizing patterns strengthens problem-solving skills and logical thinking. It helps students predict future terms in sequences and understand complex concepts which are crucial for mastering advanced mathematical topics and applications.
