regular hexagon

Practice makes perfect
We want to name the given polygon. Let's start by recalling how we can name a polygon depending on the number of its sides.
Sides Name
3 triangle
4 quadrilateral
5 pentagon
6 hexagon
7 heptagon
8 octagon

The given polygon has 6 sides, which means that it is a hexagon. Since its sides have the same length and its angles have equal measures, we can also name it a regular hexagon.
