Answer
Steps of construction:
- With O as centre and radius = 2.5 cm, draw a circle
- Take any point A on the circumference of circle.
- With A as centre and radius = 2.5 cm, draw an arc which cuts the circumference of circle at B.
- With B as centre and radius = 2.5 cm, draw an arc which cuts the circumference of circle at C.
- With C as centre and radius = 2.5 cm, draw an arc which cuts the circumference of circle at D.
- With D as centre and radius = 2.5 cm, draw an arc which cuts the circumference of circle at E.
- With E as centre and radius = 2.5 cm, draw an arc which cuts the circumference of circle at F.
- Join AB, BC, CD, DE, EF and FA. Then ABCDEF is the required hexagon.
