Choose one option:

Remember: hex = six sides.

A hexagon is a polygon with six sides and six angles. The prefix 'hex' means six. Understanding the number of sides helps identify the polygon and calculate interior and exterior angles. This is a fundamental skill in GCSE geometry, as many questions involve identifying polygons, calculating angles, and applying properties of regular shapes. Practising polygon identification improves problem-solving speed and accuracy.
