To show that a hexagon has refrectional symmetry, fold the hexagon along a line that bisects two vertex angles.

Folding a regular hexagon along a line that bisects two vertex angles (these angles will be opposite each other) will display reflectional symmetry.

Another option is to fold it along a line that connects the midpoints of opposite sides.

Any shape that can be separated into two matching segments by a single line has reflectional symmetry.
