Bees build their cells as regular hexagons. Which fact explains why hexagons fit together with no gaps?

Class 7Tiling PatternsGeometry
  • AHexagons have 6 equal sides
  • B° = 360°
  • C120° is an obtuse angle
  • D° = 360°

Step-by-Step Solution

Three hexagon corners, each 120°, meet at every vertex and make exactly 360°. Having equal sides alone is not enough (regular pentagons have equal sides but do not tile).
Answer: B) ° = 360°
