Answer 1

Correct option is (a) True

The explanation is: For drawing a regular hexagon, the fastest method is to draw a circle with diameter equal to the length of the side of the regular hexagon and then dividing the circle into six parts by cutting arcs equal to the diameter of the circle on its circumference. Then the intersection points are joined to form the hexagon.
