Which option best describes a hexagon according to the material?

• A. A polygon with six sides.
• B. A closed figure with six sides.
• C. A hexagon is a triangle with six sides.
• D. A closed figure with six equal sides.

Answer: (D)

In this material, a hexagon is described as a closed figure with six equal sides. The “closed figure” part ensures it’s a polygon, and the “six equal sides” part specifies that all sides are the same length, which is the defining property the material uses for this shape. That makes this description the most precise match to the term as taught. While a hexagon always has six sides and is closed, the emphasis on equal sides distinguishes it from other six-sided shapes and aligns with the material’s stated definition. The notion that a hexagon is a triangle with six sides is incorrect, and describing it as a six-sided closed figure without the equal-side condition is less specific than the material’s definition.
