Assuming the hexagon is equilateral (all six sides are the same length)
1) Draw a straight line from each angle in the hexagon (where the sides meet each other) to the angle on the opposite side of the hexagon. You have divided the hexagon into 6 parts now.
2) Find the center point of each line forming the sides of the hexagon.
Draw a line from each center point to the opposite side's center point so that all lines drawn are at right angles to the sides.
You will have 12 equal parts

To divide a hexagon into twelve equal parts, you would start by drawing lines from each vertex of the hexagon to the opposite side, creating six smaller triangles within the hexagon. Then, draw a line parallel to each side of the hexagon passing through the midpoints of each side. These lines will divide each triangle into two equal parts, resulting in a total of twelve equal parts within the hexagon.
Oh, what a lovely question! To divide a hexagon into 6 equal parts, simply draw lines from each corner of the hexagon to the center. This will create 6 equal triangles within the hexagon, each with the same size and shape. Remember, there are many ways to divide and create beauty in this world, just like there are many ways to divide a hexagon!
it is when you divide a line into two equal parts.
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)
to cut int 2 parts
Select any one side and divide its length into 5 equal parts. Draw lines that are parallel to the adjacent side to the opposite side. This will divide the rectangle into 5 equal strips.
