While most people think of regular polygons when they hear the terms “hexagon,” “octagon,” etc, these terms don’t always indicate that the polygon is regular. A “hexagon” just has to have six sides; a “regular hexagon” has to have six sides of equal length, with equal interior angles.
You can draw a regular polygon using a circle. You can draw a square. You can draw a regular pentagon, with five equal sides/angles. You can draw a regular hexagon, with six equal sides/angles. You can draw a regular octagon, with eight equal sides/angles. You can draw a polygon with as many sides/angles as you want! See the next method and How to Construct Regular Polygons Using a Circle for more details.
For example, if you’re drawing a hexagon, this value will be 60 degrees.
For example, if you’re trying to draw a hexagon, you’ll pick a point to draw you first dot; then you’ll draw your next dot 60 degrees over from that point, and so on, until you’ve drawn all six points.
