By showing him how to do it.
18
The answer would be 18.
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.

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

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.
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.
why dont you draw the velocity of triangles?
A hexagon is a geometric shape with six sides. To draw one, draw a polygon with six sides.
Either 12,14,16,or18 I think 18. * * * * * The correct answers is 4. You can draw only 3 diagonals from one vertex.
