A regular hyperbolic hexagon has angle tending to as its radius tends to zero and to zero as its vertices approach the ideal boundary. Continuity therefore gives a radius at which every angle is .
Two congruent right-angled hexagons glued along three alternating sides form a hyperbolic pair of pants with geodesic boundary. Glue such pairs of pants along boundary curves in the usual pants decomposition. The right angles match smoothly and produce a closed hyperbolic surface of genus for every .
