Hexagon around each vertex. A regular hexagon can also be created as a truncated equilateral triangle, with Schläfli symbol t{3}. Seen with two types (colors) of edges, this form only has D symmetry. A truncated hexagon, t{6}, is a dodecagon, {12}, alternating 2 types (colors) of edges. An alternated hexagon, h{6}, is a equilateral triangle, {3}. A regular hexagon can be stellated with equilateral triangles on its edges, creating a hexagram. A regular hexagon can be dissected into 6 equilateral triangles by adding a center point. This pattern repeats within the regular triangular tiling. A regular hexagon can be extended into
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.
