Hexagon side of any hexagon, then the midpoints of the segments connecting the centroids of opposite triangles form another equilateral triangle. A skew hexagon is a skew polygon with 6 vertices and edges but not existing on the same plane. The interior of such an hexagon is not generally defined. A "skew zig-zag hexagon" has vertices alternating between two parallel planes. A regular skew hexagon is vertex-transitive with equal edge lengths. In 3-dimensions it will be a zig-zag skew hexagon and can be seen in the vertices and side edges of a triangular antiprism with the same D, [2,6] symmetry, order
Hexagon 12. The cube and octahedron (same as triangular antiprism) have regular skew hexagons as petrie polygons. The regular skew hexagon is the Petrie polygon for these higher dimensional regular, uniform and dual polyhedra and polytopes, shown in these skew orthogonal projections: A "principal diagonal" of a hexagon is a diagonal which divides the hexagon into quadrilaterals. In any convex equilateral hexagon (one with all sides equal) with common side "a", there exists a principal diagonal "d" such that and a principal diagonal "d" such that There is no Platonic solid made of only regular hexagons, because the hexagons tessellate, not
