Origami is the Japanese art of paper folding. The heart shown on the Lesson 6 assessment page was created using origami. A classmate classifies this polygon as a hexagon. Is this classmate correct? How would you justify your response? Half the heart would be a hexagon, but when it is opened up as in the heart shown in my lesson it has more sides. HElp please!

A hexagon is a polygon with 6 sides. Therefore, if he complete heart contains more than 6 sides, then it is not a polygon.
