Geometry

Question Analysis

The main focus of this problem is to recall the basic geometric knowledge about the number of sides of a specific polygon, in this case, a hexagon.

 

Key Concept Explanation

1. Polygons: A polygon is a closed - plane figure made up of straight line segments. The number of sides is a fundamental characteristic that defines the type of polygon.

2. Naming of Polygons: Polygons are named based on the number of their sides. For example, a triangle has 3 sides, a quadrilateral has 4 sides, and so on. A hexagon is a polygon with a specific number of sides.

 

Step - by - Step Solution

1. By the definition of a hexagon in geometry, a hexagon is a polygon with 6 sides.

 

Option Analysis

A.4: A polygon with 4 sides is called a quadrilateral, not a hexagon, so this option is incorrect.

B.5: A polygon with 5 sides is called a pentagon, not a hexagon, so this option is incorrect.

C.6: This is the correct answer as a hexagon has 6 sides.

D.7: A polygon with 7 sides is called a heptagon, not a hexagon, so this option is incorrect.
