Regular Hexagon

The object shown above is a table. This table's surface is a regular hexagon. It is a regular polygon because it's a closed figure, has straight lines, and all sides and angles are congruent. I found this table in my living room. Shapes like this are seen all over the world in stop signs as well. All of the sides and angles are congruent withing a stop sign. In nature, we see regular hexagons made by bees. As bees make their honey, the honey comb forms regular hexagons. Regular polygons are seen all over and are shown in the shapes of the world.
