Well basically yeah it kinda is.
A hexagon is A six sided figure.
We know that many geometric buildings contains triangles. When a hexagon is cut into two it is a trapezoid. when that is cut into two in is a triangle. a hexagon is basically a lot of triangles stuck together. We all know that i triangle can't be stronger than two or more. so what do you think is stronger, a triangle or a hexagon.

The answer will depend on what you mean by "strongest" but the above answer is just a load of garbage!
Any polygon with four or more sides is not rigid. It can be skewed in the same way that a square can be flexed so that it becomes a rhombus. The only rigid polygon is a triangle. That is one reason why triangles are used in structures and also why rectangles (or similar shapes) need to be cross-braced.
