Hexagon on the circumcircle of an acute triangle at the six points (including three triangle vertices) where the extended altitudes of the triangle meet the circumcircle, then the area of the hexagon is twice the area of the triangle. Let ABCDEF be a hexagon formed by six tangent lines of a conic section. Then Brianchon's theorem states that the three main diagonals AD, BE, and CF intersect at a single point. In a hexagon that is tangential to a circle and that has consecutive sides "a", "b", "c", "d", "e", and "f", If an equilateral triangle is constructed externally on each
Magic hexagon can be called a T-hexagon and it has many more properties than the hexagon of hexagons. As with the above, the rows of triangles run in three directions and there are 24 triangles in a T-hexagon of order 2. In general, a T-hexagon of order "n" has formula_10 triangles. The sum of all these numbers is given by: If we try to construct a magic T-hexagon of side "n", we have to choose "n" to be even, because there are rows so the sum in each row must be For this to be an integer, "n" has to be even.
