The answer is 180 degrees. The rotation that maps one side to an adjacent side is 360°/6 = 60°. This is the least rotation that plots the regular hexagon to the aforementioned. In the least whole number of these minimum rotations, such as three 60° rotations to make 180°, will retain the hexagon identical.
