Final answer:

To draw a hexagon with exactly 2 ears, start with a regular hexagon and remove two consecutive sides to create convex parts that do not intersect with the rest of the hexagon.

Step-by-step explanation:

A polygon is any 2-dimensional closed shape with straight sides. An ear of a polygon is a convex part of the shape that does not intersect with any other part. To draw a hexagon with exactly 2 ears, we can start by drawing a regular hexagon, which is a hexagon with all sides and angles equal. Now, to create ears, we can remove two consecutive sides of the hexagon, turning them into convex parts that do not intersect with the rest of the hexagon. The resulting shape will have two ears.
