Answer
Steps of construction :
Draw a line segment AB = 4 cm.
At A and B, draw rays making an angle of 120° each and cut off AF = BC = 4 cm.
Again from F and C, draw rays making an angle of 120° each and cut off FE = CD = 4 cm.
Join DE. Thus, ABCDEF is the regular hexagon.
Draw diagonals AD and FC. Let it meet at point O.
With O as center and OA as radius draw a circle passing through A, B, C, D, E and F.
Hence, above is the required circumcircle of regular hexagon.
