Identify Hexagon

Which of the figures is a Hexagon?

A ) Figure 1
B ) Figure 2
C ) Figure 3
D ) Figure 4

Steps to derive:

1 A six-sided polygon is called a hexagon.
[Hexa means six.]

2 Figure 1 has 5 sides. So, it is a pentagon.

3 Figure 2 is a closed figure formed by six sides. So, it is a hexagon.

4 Figure 3 is not at all a polygon, as it contains intersecting line segments.
[Polygons do not have intersecting line segments.]

5 Figure 4 has 4 sides. So, it is a quadrilateral.

6 So, Figure 2 is the only hexagon among the figures. This answer is given by choice B.
