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
Heesch's problem a tile may be surrounded, its Heesch number is said to be infinite. In this case, an argument based on Kőnig's lemma can be used to show that there exists a tessellation of the whole plane by congruent copies of the tile. Consider the non-convex polygon "P" shown in the figure to the right, which is formed from a regular hexagon by adding projections on two of its sides and matching indentations on three sides. The figure shows a tessellation consisting of 61 copies of "P", one large infinite region, and four small diamond-shaped polygons within the fourth layer. The
