What Is a Shape with Six Sides Called?

Answer – A geometrical shape with six sides is called a hexagon.

Explanation: 

A hexagon is a closed two-dimensional polygon with six equal sides and six equal angles. In geometry, a regular hexagon has all sides of the same length with each internal angle measuring 120 degrees. Additionally, a regular hexagon has 6 vertices and 9 diagonals. The sum of all interior angles of a hexagon is 720°, and it can have different types such as regular, irregular, concave, and convex hexagons. 

Hexagons are commonly found in nature in structures like honeycombs and snowflakes due to their efficient use of space and stability provided by their symmetrical shape.
