Can a hexagon have equal sides but unequal angles?
thats a good question
what about something like this |dw:1327862453936:dw|
that is an equilateral polygon....
WHich means it has all the same side lengths but not all of the same angles!
well its a hexagon (six sides)
so an equilateral hexagon? yes?
right
Can you make a hexagon with unequal sides but equal angles?
hmmm..
I know I am so confused on that

looks like a coffin!!!!!
are all those angles = 120 degrees?
they dont look like they are all 120
you can make the 2 top angles equal 120 usinf your protractor then do same with the two middle ones. then you cut short the two sides - but would the two bottom angles be 120 ?
yes - they have to be! - because a hexagon must have total of 720 degrees not all sides are different - but i assume thats ok.
the two sides top and bottom are parallel of course
what do you think?
its correct - to make sure i constructed it.
it cant be done of all sides are unequal here you've got two pairs of equal sides and two unequal
