Do you divide the height of the hexagon when you are make it in to a trapezoid?

The answer depends on whether or not the hexagon is regular, partly regular or totally irregular. In the last case it will not help.
It also depends on whether you start off with a regular hexagon standing with one vertex above another or standing on one of its sides!

Can a triangle and a trapezoid make a hexagon?
How can a you make a hexagon using a trapozid and 2 triangles
What can a triangle and a trapezoid be combined to make?
A big triangle if you put the triangle on the trapezoid's short parallel side, or a parallelogram if you put it on one of the trapezoid's ends. In both cases the triangle must be exactly the right shape and size or you will only have an irregular quadrilateral, pentagon, or hexagon. (Placing an appropriately-sized triangle on the long parallel side will also yield a pentagon - likely irregular.) Additionally, if a vertex of the triangle touches the trapezoid it can also make an irregular concave heptagon!

How do two squares and two triangles make a hexagon?
Look at it the other way. Draw a hexagon, and draw two horizontal lines, in each case from one vertex to another one. That way you'll see how to divide the hexagon into a rectangle (not necessarily a square), and two triangles - which, of course, you can combine again to form the hexagon.

If you make half of a hexagon what shape do you get?
a square ----------- Assuming it's a regular hexagon, it can be one of two shapes depending on whether you cut it in half on a side or on a vertex. On a side, it is an irregular pentagon. On a vertex, it is a trapezoid (quadrilateral).
How do you make a trapezoid out of a square and triangle?
It is a square with a right angle triangle attached to it having the same height as the square.
What shape can make a trapezoid and triangle?
A trapezoid and a triangle can make a triangle or another trapezoid, among others.
What can a triangle and a trapezoid be combined to make?

How can you Divide a trapezoid into four equal parts?
yes you can put a trapezoid on top and the bottom but upside down and the one on the side put it side ways so you have 4 trapezoids Would you trust an answer that isn't even punctuated? Not that it would make any sense even if it were. The question says "a trapezoid"; that means one, not four. Probably the easiest method is to divide the trapezoid into 2 equal parts, then divide each of these into 2 equal parts. Bisect the parallel sides, then connect the midpoints forming 2 new trapezoids each half the size of the original. The bases of each are equal and each is the same height. Repeat the procedure for each of the new trapezoids. All 4 will be equal in area, but they won't be congruent (equal in shape).
What shape can you make with 3 triangles and 1 trapezoid?
Depending on the individual shapes, you can make a large triangle, a square or any other quadrilateral, a regular or irregular pentagon or hexagon. If concave shapes are allowed, you can make any polygon upto a decagon.
