Octagon vs. Hexagon

Main Difference

The main difference between Octagon and Hexagon is that the Octagon is a polygon with eight sides and Hexagon is a polygon with six sides.

• Octagon

  In geometry, an octagon (from the Greek ὀκτάγωνον oktágōnon, “eight angles”). Is an eight-sided polygon or 8-ton

  A regular octagon has Schläfli symbol {8} and can also be constructed as a quasiregular truncated square, t{4}, which alternates two types of edges. A truncated octagon, t{8} is a hexadecagon, t{16}.

• Hexagon

  In geometry, a hexagon (from Greek ἕξ hex, “six” and γωνία, gonía, “corner, angle”) is a six sided polygon or 6-gon. The total of the internal angles of any hexagon is 720°.
