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
Distance from a point to a plane Distance from a point to a plane In Euclidean space, the point on a plane formula_1 that is closest to the origin has the Cartesian coordinates formula_2, where The distance between the origin and point formula_2 is formula_5. If what is desired is the distance from a point not at the origin to the nearest point on a plane, this can be found by a change of variables that moves the origin to coincide with the given point. Suppose we wish to find the nearest point on a plane to the point (formula_6), where the plane is given by formula_7.
