Verify that the hexagon formed by A=(0,0), B=(2,1), C=(3,3), D=(2,5), E= (0,4), and F=(-1, 2) is equilateral. Is it also equiangular? I have verified that it is equilateral. How can I tell if it is equiangular? Just by putting it on a coordinate plane and looking at it?

mathslover (mathslover):

can you draw the rough diagram of "hexagon" given

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm going to attach it....one minute please.

mathslover (mathslover):

This is what I drew . Let me see yours

mathslover (mathslover):

Note : my hexagon is not real and hence it may be weird as per appearance but .... your's one is better ... :(

mathslover (mathslover):

Are you sure that it is equidistant ? did u check it with distance formula?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yup.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

positive. The distance formula shows that they all equal \[\sqrt{5}\]

mathslover (mathslover):

ok so it is regular hexagon right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

uh.....i think so....I'm not really sure.

mathslover (mathslover):

It is since all sides are equal and hence all angles will also be equal

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh....okay! Thanks!

mathslover (mathslover):
