Dear Student,
 
 
 
Let each side of the givenregular hexagon be 6 cm.
Each interior angle of the regular hexagon 
=(fraction numerator 2 x 6 minus 4 over denominator 4 end fraction)x90o=120o
Steps:
 
1. Using the given data, construct the regular hexagon ABCDE with each side equal to 6cm.
2. Draw the bisectors of interior angles at A and at B which intersect each other at point I.
3. From point I,draw IP perpendicular to AB.
4. With I as center and IP as radius draw a circle which will touch all the sides of the regular hexagon drawn
 
The circle so obtained is the required inscribing circle of the given regular hexagon.
 
 
Thanks and Regards
