How to draw a Hexagon
1
Select the length of your side that you want your hexagon to be.
2
Set the compass to that length.
3
Draw a circle with the compass.
4
Make a mark on the circle. Can be anywhere but easier if you make the mark at the top.
5
Starting at the mark, swing a series of arcs around the circumference of the circle. You don't draw anything at all. Do not change the length of your compass.
6
Check to make sure that the last mark lands directly on the first one. If not repeat step 5.
7
Connect the marks to form straight lines to form a hexagon. Now you've made a perfect hexagon with the exact length angles and everything. Sorry for the bad graphics. I hope you enjoyed my lesson on how to draw a hexagon!
