If you walk 3m in a straight line then turn 60 degrees until you are standing at your original position then you have walked a hexagon

Here we can see that after moving for distance of d = 3 m it takes turn at 60 degree angle

this will continue till it comes to its own position

so it will look like a polygon

here Number of sides of polygon is given as


N = (total Angle)/(exterior angle)

now we will have


N = (360)/(60) = 6

So here we have total sides are 6

So here it will be a polygon of 6 sides

so it's shape will be a regular hexagon of each side as 3m length
