How many triangles can you form is you draw all the diagonals of a hexagon?

The answer would be 18.


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.


How many triangles can you form in a hexagon if you draw all of the diagonals from only one vertex?

4.


How do you calculate the area of an hexagon?

Draw lines from point to point and now you have six triangles to calculate


How can you use triangles to figure out the area of a hextagon?

If you Google "area of a hexagon," you'll find quite a few websites with illustrations that will explain this better than I can without them. If you draw three diagonals from opposite corners of the hexagon, you will notice that the hexagon has been divided into six equilateral triangles. If you then draw six lines from the center to the midpoint of each side, you will have created twelve equal right triangles and can find the area of each by taking half of the base (which is half of a side) times the height. Multiply that by 12 and you have the area of the hexagon. The height of each triangle is the line you drew from the center to the middle of the side. This is known as an "apothem."


What shapes can be used to make a hexagon?

How to draw a hexagon?

A hexagon is a six-sided figure. Cut an equilateral triangle out of a piece of paper. Chop off little equilateral triangles at each tip of the triangle. What you have is a hexagonal piece of paper. Draw around it.


What is the size of one angle in a hexagon?

In a regular hexagon in which the angles are congruent you can use a formula. ((6-2)*180)/6 120 degrees. The reason this works is that you can draw 4 diagonals inside the hexagon and triangles have 180 degrees each.

How many triangles can you form in a hexagon if you draw all the diagonals from only one vertex?

Either 12,14,16,or18 I think 18. * * * * * The correct answers is 4. You can draw only 3 diagonals from one vertex.
