How to draw a hexagon with a compass and without a compass will be discussed in this article! You can find the answer to all these questions if you follow these steps after me. Slackly defined, a hexagon is any polygon with six sides. However, the regular hexagon features six equal parts and six equal angles.
Seem at images of hexagons to get a superior plan of what you’re drawing a hexagon. How to draw a hexagon and perfectly correct form will be discussed in this article! Drawing a hexagon is simple if you follow your recommendations! In touch, think of just tracing an accessible image of a hexagon.
Apply a ruler and a protractor to draw an ideal hexagon. For a rougher hexagon, try using a round shape and a ruler to point your hand. If accuracy is not paramount, then feel free to prepare an easy hexagon using merely a pencil and your instinct. Of course, we need a compass with a pen and a ruler to draw a beautiful hexagon!
Drawing a perfect hexagon with compasses
Step 1
First, we draw a simple circle with a compassed
Step 2
Next is to draw a circle and take compasses the distance from the center to the beginning of the circle with a circular!
Step 3
The next step is to take the measured distance compasses from the top of our circle with a circular and make a 1.4 arcs on the left side!
Step 4
We do the same thing with a circular to the right side and make 1.4 arcs!
Step 5
We take the same distance at the bottom of our circle and do the same thing (put 1.4 arcs on the left side).
Step 6
Now we take the same distance and use our compasses to make 1.4 arcs on the right side!
Step 7
At this stage we have 4 1.4 arcs forming!
Step 8
Connect our 4 1.4 arcs to the top corners in order to create a hexagon!
Step 9
We erase our four 1.4 arcs and we get the hexagon
How to draw a hexagon without compasses
Step 1
To do this, you need to draw a square with sides 5 by 5 cm as shown in the picture!
Step 2
The next step is to create 4 identical squares side by side with a width and length of 5 cm!
Step 3
Total length 10 cm and width 10 cm
Step 4
At this step, we draw the diagonals for our 6-sided square
Step 5
Measure the diagonal 5 cm with a ruler and put the answer on the left and right!
Step 6
Do the same at the right diagonal (i.e. take the length of 5 cm and width of 5 cm)
Step 7
At this step, for convenience, we leave just 4 marks (to further draw a circle).
Step 8
By hand, carefully connect the dashed lines as indicated in the picture!
Step 9
Finish by hand connecting the dashed lines to the top and bottom points of our square to make an even circle!
Step 10
In this step, take a distance of 2.5 cm on the right and 2.5 cm on the left and create one side of the hexagon at the intersection of the circle line and the hexagon side!
Step 11
Do the same thing and the lower side of the hexagon, take a distance of 2.5 cm on the right and 2.5 cm on the left and create one side at the intersection of the line of the circle and the side of the hexagon!
Step 12
Here we have the top and bottom sides of the hexagon (you can check them, they should be exactly 5 cm).
Step 13
At this stage, we connect the right side of the hexagon to the right side of the circle (and verify that everything is exactly 5 cm).
Step 14
I’ve got the right side of the hexagon!
Step 15
Creating the underside of the hexagon!
Step 16
The final version of the hexagon should turn out like this (and here it is easy to check everything with a ruler each side of the hexagon should be exactly 5 cm).
