Answer
We know that each angle in a regular hexagon = 120°.
Steps of construction :
Draw a regular hexagon ABCDEF with each side equal to 4 cm and each interior angle = 120°.
Draw the perpendicular bisectors of AB and AF which intersect each other at O.
With O as center and OA as radius draw a circle which will pass through all the vertices of the regular hexagon.
Hence, above is the required circumcircle of regular hexagon.
