| apothem | property |
apothem:NumberThe apothem distance of the hexagon (height / 2 ). The distance of the line segment from the center of a regular polygon perpendicular to a side (i.e. when a regular polygon is broken into triangles, the apothem is the height of one of the triangles whose base is a side of the regular polygon).

| centralAngle | Constant |
public static const centralAngle:uintIndicates the central angle value (in degrees) of the hexagon (60°).
| centralAngleRadians | Constant |
public static const centralAngleRadians:NumberIndicates the central angle value (in radians) of the hexagon (60 Math.PI / 180).
| exteriorAngle | Constant |
public static const exteriorAngle:uint = 60Indicates the exterior angle value (in degrees) of the hexagon (60°). To find the exterior angle of a regular hexagon, we use the fact that the exterior angle forms a linear pair with the interior angle, so in general it is given by the formula 180 - interior angle.
| exteriorAngleRadians | Constant |
public static const exteriorAngleRadians:Number = 1.0471975511965976Indicates the exterior angle value (in radians) of the hexagon (60 Math.PI / 180).
| interiorAngle | Constant |
public static const interiorAngle:uint = 120Indicates the interior angle value (in degrees) of the hexagon (120°). Like any regular polygon, to find the interior angle we use the formula (180n–360)/n . For a hexagon, n=6.
| numDiagonals | Constant |
public static const numDiagonals:uint = 9The number of distinct diagonals (9) possible from all vertices, in general n (n–3) / 2.
| numSides | Constant |
public static const numSides:uint = 6The number of sides of the polygon (6).
| numTriangles | Constant |
public static const numTriangles:uint = 4The number of triangles (4) created by drawing the diagonals from a given vertex. (In general n–2)
| sumInteriorAngle | Constant |
public static const sumInteriorAngle:uint = 720The sum (in degrees) of all interior angles of the hexagon (720°). In general 180(n–2) degrees.
