A hexagon is a polygon with six edges and six vertices. The sum of the internal angles of a regular hexagon is $720^{\circ}$, and each is $120^{\circ}$.

The area of a regular hexagon is $\frac{3s^2\sqrt{3}}{2}$, where $s$ is the side length.

The maximum diameter a hexagon can have is twice its side length, and the minimum is $s\sqrt{3}$.
