How many right angles does a hexagon have?
2 Answers
Zero in a regular hexagon because the angles are all
Explanation:
A hexagon has six sides, and the sum of interior angles of a polygon can be calculated in the formula:
Since a hexagon has six sides, the sum of interior angles is
If it is a regular hexagon, all the sides and angles are equal.
so each angle of a regular hexagon is
Thus, a regular hexagon has zero right angles.
It is only possible for a hexagon to have right angles if it is NOT a regular hexagon, which has been discussed in another answer.
Explanation:
An irregular hexagon can have 1,2,3,4 or 5 right angles. Try drawing different shaped hexagons using different numbers of right angles to show this for yourself.
It is possible to have 5 angles of
