Question

Construct a regular hexagon with side $5cm$.

Answer 1

1. Draw a side $OA$ of length $5cm$.

2. Construct angles of ${120}^{\circ }$ from points $O$ and $A$ respectively.

3. Mark points $B$ and $E$ on the ${120}^{\circ }$ angles created from $A$ and $O$ respectively.

4. Again draw angles of ${120}^{\circ }$ to sides $AB$ and $O$ respectively and mark points $C$ and $D$ at a distance of $5cm$ from $B$ and $E$ respectively. Join $C-D$.

$OABCDE$ is the required hexagon.
