Answer (2)

so hexagon is 6 sides and 6 angles it can have a max of 2 right angles if you make an irregular hexagon with one of the lines going into the figure then the answer is 4
if you have all the lines outside of the hexagon then the max is 2
a geoboard is a board with pegs that you can put rubber bands on to form a figure. google it

The greatest number of right angles a hexagon can have is 4. This can be achieved by creating an irregular hexagon where 4 angles are 90° and the remaining angles complete the interior angle sum of 720°. Using a geoboard can help visualize this hexagon shape effectively.
