Hexagons following circular path issue

Hi, I'm having trouble removing the distortion where the hexagons meet. Does anybody have any smart ideas as to how I could fix this issue. I've tried tracing the hexagon and leaving one side off and following the path that way but I couldn't get it to work. : (

 

Thanks

You had. I don't know why I got chosen as the solution. Perhaps my wording just made sense to richard in some way?

It's entirely possible to have regular pentagons form a circle 😁

It's possible with every regular polygon of odd numbered sides. And in fact all of them that are of even numbered sides also, although using sides that aren't opposite each other. What's your point?

Hey, just because I can't tell the difference between a pentagon and a hexagon isn't any  reason to get snippy 😀

Ooops that's not right. It's only true for those that have any pair of sides where the angle between them is evenly divided into 360 (resulting in a whole number). But still, that's a lot!
