    Theorem
In summary, the discussion was about the theorem that states the radius of a circle circumscribed about a regular hexagon is equal to the side of the hexagon. The thread was locked, but people wanted to continue discussing it due to its long-standing debate. However, the original poster did not mention anything about pi and the title of the thread was questionable. It was agreed that the theorem is correct and there is no need to continue the discussion. The topic of linear algebra and censorship was also brought up, but was not relevant to the original theorem.

My theorem is right. "Inside a regular inscribed hexagon, the radius of the circle IS equal to the sides of the hexagon"

You can lock the thread, but poeple wanted to discuss this. Maybe it is 2000 years old and that's why it's still up for debate. Can we please discuss it? I said nothing of Pi.

Yes, it is true that the radius of a circle circumscribed about a regular hexagon, is the same as the side of the hexagon. Yes, you could phrase that as a "regularly inscribed hexagon" but it would be better to say "inscribed in a circle". And the word "Inside" confuses things greatly! And while you did not say anything about pi in the thread, the title, "Why pi is wrong" was questionable!

Now that we understand what you were saying, and agree that it is right, I see no reason to continue the thread.

i thought this was going to be an application of linear algebra to censorship.

crocque, you were trolling us hard. We asked you multiple times to present all of your stuff, but you refused to do so. The lock was justified.

And by the way, we don't allow original research here...

Okay, Micro. Let's not get our panties in a wad. No original research. No free thinking allowed.

This is not about linear algebra.
 

What is the Inscribed Hexagon Theorem?

The Inscribed Hexagon Theorem is a mathematical principle that states that if a hexagon is inscribed in a circle, the opposite sides of the hexagon are parallel and the opposite angles are supplementary.

Who first discovered the Inscribed Hexagon Theorem?

The Inscribed Hexagon Theorem was first discovered by ancient Greek mathematician, Euclid, in his book "Elements."

Why is the Inscribed Hexagon Theorem important?

The Inscribed Hexagon Theorem is important because it is a fundamental principle in geometry that helps solve problems involving inscribed shapes in circles. It is also used in higher level math and physics to prove other theorems and theories.

What evidence supports the validity of the Inscribed Hexagon Theorem?

The validity of the Inscribed Hexagon Theorem is supported by mathematical proofs and experiments conducted by mathematicians and scientists over centuries. It has also been used successfully in various applications and real-life situations.

Are there any exceptions to the Inscribed Hexagon Theorem?

No, there are no exceptions to the Inscribed Hexagon Theorem. It holds true for all regular and irregular hexagons inscribed in circles, as long as they meet the criteria of having opposite sides parallel and opposite angles supplementary.
