You can make your own hexagon very easily.

Hexagon is a 6 sided figure that is symmetrical.

It is the equivalent of putting 6 - 60 degree triangles together around a central point. You can change the size of the hexagon by changing how long the sides are out from the center point.

If you love playing around, have a compass, and love math you can draw your own. The radius [1/2 the width] of a circle goes around the circle 6 times. Draw the circle. Keep the compass at that same measurement you had when you drew the circle and start marking off segments/arcs of the circle by putting the point of the compass on one spot and marking where the other end meets the circle. Put compass at this new point and continue til you have gone around the circle. Draw straight lines from where the compass intersected the circle.

OR ... just do a web search for HEXAGON on the net. Then you can see how the hexagon is made, print out a pattern, and resize it for you own use.

Hey ... I could have added that the total of the inside angles of the hexagon is 720 degrees and even gotten this more confusing.
