Hexa is always related to 6. So a hexagon has 6 equal units.
The hexagon can be split into 8 equal trapezoids by creating a smaller hexagon (exactly one half the size) within the hexagon. Draw lines through the center of the hexagon from opposing vertices, and connect the midway points. The space between the two hexagons is filled by six equal trapezoids, and the smaller hexagon bisects to form two more. (see the related link for drawing)
