Remember that regular polygons have a rotational symmetry equal to

00:20

their number of sides right tex six they're hex has

00:24

six eyes so a regular hexagon will have a rotation

00:28

symmetry of order six Well that means it has six

00:31

lines of symmetry left through there It'll have symmetry every

00:35

time it's spun sixty degrees since well three hundred sixty

00:39

divided by six equals sixty and it'll have symmetry when

00:42

we spin it sixty degrees one hundred twenty degrees one

00:45

hundred eighty degrees two hundred four degrees three hundred degrees

00:48

and three hundred sixty degrees Yeah so get rid of

00:50

sea there so that means a regular hexagon does not

00:53
