All regular hexagons have the same
shape and can be scaled up or down
to be the exact same size as any other
regular hexagon, so the perimeter
doesn't matter.
-------------
Pick any vertex and draw lines to the
other vertexes. You will have 4 triangle
+4%2A180+=+720+ is the sum of all
the 6 exterior angles
+720+%2F+6+=+120+
Each angle measures 120 degrees
