Question

Construct a regular hexagon with a side $3cm$.

Answer 1

1. Draw side $AF=3cm$.

2. Draw two arcs of radius $3cm$ from points $A$ and $F$ and let them intersect at point $O$.

3. With centre as $O$ and radius $OA=3cm$, draw a circle passing through $A$ and $F$.

4. Start from $A$ and mark $4$ arcs of length $3cm$ each $(B,C,D$ and $E)$ on the circle.

4. Join $A-B,B-C,C-D,D-E$ and $E-F$.

$ABCDEF$ is the required hexagon.
