A hexagon is a symmetrically shaped, two dimensional six sided polygon having identical angles on each plane . The hexagonal formula is often used in engineering, architecture, geometry, and board gaming as a simple but reliable structure. In many dice games, the six sides are equated to the roll of a dice, giving direction for movement in the game. The sum of the angles on a hexagon is 720 degrees, 6 x 120. |
