How many sides does a hexagon have?

  1. 8

  2. 6

  3. 4

  4. 5

The correct answer is: 6

A hexagon has 6 sides because it is a polygon with six straight sides and six angles. Option A (8) cannot be the right answer because an octagon has eight sides and is not the same shape as a hexagon. Option C (4) is incorrect because a square has four sides and is also not the same shape as a hexagon. Option D (5) is incorrect because a pentagon has five sides and is not the same shape as a hexagon. Therefore, the correct answer is B.
