How
to Draw a Hexagon
by Rob
Step 1. Draw a circle with a compass. This will be the diameter of your hexagon. The radius of the circle is what will be used through the whole process of How to draw a hexagon. The radius is 1/2 the diameter of a circle.
Step 2. Using the same compass (unchanged), draw another circle using any point on the outside line of the original circle as your starting point for the center of the new circle.
Step 3. Draw more circles in the same manor but move your new circles' center point to where the previous circle crossed the original circle. This will show you the six equal points of the hexagon.
Step 4. Use a straight edge to connect the 6 points of crossings. Now you can see your hexagon take its form.
There you have it, a quick explanation of How to draw a hexagon.
