Regular hexagon

Isadzg -  
Hello,
I need to create regular hexagons of different sizes in Word (or Excel if it's easier), but I'm having trouble.
Can someone help me, please?

    Start by doing what is necessary, then do what is possible, and you will achieve the impossible without realizing it.

      Thank you for your quick response, but unfortunately this hexagon is not regular. I really need it to be regular (so all 6 sides of the same size).

        Hello,
        With some delay:
        To make the hexagon regular, simply hold down the Shift key while stretching the shape.
        It's the same process to obtain a circle from the "ellipse" shape.

        @tontongYes, in theory ... Because in practice it’s not really consistent!

      Hello.

      Word is not a drawing software.
      I therefore recommend that you create your hexagon with drawing software and then copy it into Word.
      You can also draw it with a ruler, compass, and pencil on a sheet of paper and scan it.

        Good evening,

        I'm replying a bit "haphazardly" as I haven't tested everything.

        If you still have some memories of geometry, you can use this software dedicated to teaching: GeoGebra. You can download it on CCM here.
        The use is intuitive. You will be able to construct a perfectly regular hexagon.

        Then you export it as a png file. All you need to do is open it in Paint or another program to erase the unnecessary elements, especially the construction lines.
