Hexagon allowing the result to "fold up". The Archimedean solids with some hexagonal faces are the truncated tetrahedron, truncated octahedron, truncated icosahedron (of soccer ball and fullerene fame), truncated cuboctahedron and the truncated icosidodecahedron. These hexagons can be considered truncated triangles, with Coxeter diagrams of the form and . There are other symmetry polyhedra with stretched or flattened hexagons, like these Goldberg polyhedron G(2,0): There are also 9 Johnson solids with regular hexagons: Hexagon In geometry, a hexagon (from Greek ἕξ "hex", "six" and γωνία, "gonía", "corner, angle") is a six-sided polygon or 6-gon. The total of the internal angles of
Hexagon hexagonal prisms with parallel opposite faces are called parallelohedrons and these can tessellate 3-space by translation. In addition to the regular hexagon, which determines a unique tessellation of the plane, any irregular hexagon which satisfies the Conway criterion will tile the plane. Pascal's theorem (also known as the "Hexagrammum Mysticum Theorem") states that if an arbitrary hexagon is inscribed in any conic section, and pairs of opposite sides are extended until they meet, the three intersection points will lie on a straight line, the "Pascal line" of that configuration. The Lemoine hexagon is a cyclic hexagon (one inscribed in a
