Question
By what minimum angle does a regular hexagon rotate so as to coincide with its original position for the first time?
Solution
A regular hexagon must be rotated through a minimum angle of 60°. So, that it can coincide with its original position for the first time. Because the angle of rotation of hexagon
=
=
= 60°
