Answer
Each interior angle of a regular hexagon =
Steps of construction :
Draw a regular hexagon ABCDEF with each side equal to 5.8 cm and each interior angle = 120°.
Draw the bisectors of interior angles at A and B which intersect each other at point I.
From point I , draw IP perpendicular to AB.
With I as center and IP as radius, draw a circle which will touch all the sides of the regular hexagon drawn.
Hence, above is the required incircle of regular hexagon.
