Full symmetry of the regular form is r12 and no symmetry is labeled a1. The regular hexagon has D 6 symmetry. There are 16 subgroups. There are 8 up to isomorphism: itself (D 6), 2 dihedral: (D 3, D 2), 4 cyclic: (Z 6, Z 3, Z 2, Z 1) and the trivial (e) These symmetries express nine distinct symmetries of a regular hexagon.

One example self-tiling with a pentahex. All of the polyhexes with fewer than five hexagons can form at least one regular plane tiling. In addition, the plane tilings of the dihex and straight polyhexes are invariant under 180 degrees rotation or reflection parallel or perpendicular to the long axis of the dihex (order 2 rotational and order 4 reflection symmetry), and the hexagon tiling and ...
Individual polygons are named (and sometimes classified) according to the number of sides, combining a Greek-derived numerical prefix with the suffix -gon, e.g. pentagon, dodecagon. The triangle, quadrilateral and nonagon are exceptions, although the regular forms trigon, tetragon, and enneagon are sometimes encountered as well.
Hexagonal tiling is the densest way to arrange circles in two dimensions. The honeycomb conjecture states that hexagonal tiling is the best way to divide a surface into regions of equal area with the least total perimeter.
The order-5 truncated pentagonal hexecontahedron is a convex polyhedron with 72 faces: 60 hexagons and 12 pentagons triangular, with 210 edges, and 140 vertices. Its dual is the pentakis snub dodecahedron. It is Goldberg polyhedron {5+,3} 2,1 in the icosahedral family, with chiral symmetry. The relationship between pentagons steps into 2 ...

This polyhedron is in the family of elongated bipyramids, of which the first three can be Johnson solids: J 14, J 15, and J 16.The hexagonal form can be constructed by all regular faces but is not a Johnson solid because 6 equilateral triangles would form six co-planar faces (in a regular hexagon).
