No. All hexagons are polygons.
Hexagons
Certain polygons, yes. Squares, Triangles and Hexagons are all shapes which, in their regular form, can tessellate. Other polygons cannot.
Equilateral triangles, squares, and hexagons.
Yes
Hexagons, assuming they are polygons.
A hexagon is a polygon with six angles.
Hexagons are 2-D polygons with six sides.
Polygon literally means 'many sides.' Squares, hexagons, dodecahedrons etc are all polygons.
-- All regular (equilateral) triangles are similar. -- All squares are similar. -- All pentagons are similar. -- All hexagons are similar. . . . etc. Any regular polygon is similar to all other regular polygons with the same number of sides.
On a football there are two types of polygons - large hexagons and smaller pentagons. The number of polygons it takes to make up the football depends entirely on the size of the ball and the size of the polygons.
Regular tessellations can be made using triangles, squares, and hexagons.
Some examples of polygons include circles, triangles, squares, rectangles, pentagons, and hexagons. These are examples of 'simple polygons,' in that none of the lines overlap and intersect each other, such as in a pentagram, which is a 'star polygon.'
All triangles will tessellate. All quadrilaterals will tessellate There are 15 classes of convex pentagons (the latest discovered in 2015) which will tessellate. Regular hexagons will tessellate. In addition, there are 3 classes of irregular convex hexagons which will tessellate. No convex polygon with 7 or more sides will tessellate.
If the octagon is a regular octagon (all eight sides and all eight angles are equal), then it is a regular polygon. If it is not a regular octagon (i.e. if it is an irregular octagon) then is it an irregular polygon.
A polygon can be equilateral but not always equiangular. Some examples of this are rhomboids and other polygons like pentagons and hexagons.
Parallelograms are quadrilaterals that have two pairs of parallel lines. Hexagons are six sided polygons, and therefore the two are not the same.
