you get a trapezoid

Well, isn't that a happy little question! When you cut a hexagon in half, you get two equal parts that each have a shape similar to a trapezoid. Remember, there are no mistakes in art or geometry, just happy little accidents waiting to be turned into something beautiful.
When you cut a hexagon in half, you will get two trapezoids. A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with at least one pair of parallel sides. In this case, cutting a hexagon in half creates two trapezoids with different side lengths and angles.
If you bisect a regular hexagon (cut in half from one vertex to the opposite vertex) the shape you get is a trapezoid. If you bisect the hexagon from the midpoint of one side to the midpoint of the opposite side, then the shape you would is a pentagon, similar looking to home plate in baseball.
a square ----------- Assuming it's a regular hexagon, it can be one of two shapes depending on whether you cut it in half on a side or on a vertex. On a side, it is an irregular pentagon. On a vertex, it is a trapezoid (quadrilateral).

If divided by a vertex-to-vertex line, it is an isosceles trapezium. If divided by a line from one side to the opposite side, it will make an irregular pentagon.
