First, draw the equilateral triangle ABC, and its altitude AI. Extend the sides AB and AC in such way that the extended parts to be equal in length with the length of these sides. Extend also the altitude AI in such way that the extended part to be twice in length as the altitude length. Label their end points , started from the point C, respectively with D, K, and G. From points D, K, and G, draw the parallel lines to BG, BC, and CD. Label their intersections respectively with E and F. A hexagon is formed, the hexagon BCDEFG, where its sides are equal in length with the length sides of the equilateral triangle ABC.

how to make a regular hexagon out of 6 equilateral triangles?
Put one angle of each triangle at the center of the hexagon.
How do you make a regular hexagon into an equilateral triangle?
A hexagon has 6 sides, all equal to one another, which means it has symmetry. Simply fold the hexagon until it makes a triangle _ / \ \_/
How do you make an irregular hexagon out of 6 equilateral triangles?
You Cant. Because A Hexagon Is A Six Sided Shape. And An Equilateral Triangle Is Equal. So You Can Because Everything (As In Sides And Angles Will Be Congruent)
How many equilateral triangles in a hexagon?
Infinitely many. When you have one equilateral triangle, you can join up the midpoints of its sides to make into 4 more equilateral triangles. And then each one of those can be split up and so on.
Is it possible to make an obtuse equilateral triangle?
No. It is not possible to make a equilateral triangle that is obtuse.

How make triangles does it take to make a hexagon?
With 6 equilateral triangles oriented with a point from each touching in the center of the imagined hexagon, you would have a hexagon. The following would make a 6 pointed star which is not a hexagon because it would have 12 edges: "It takes 2 triangles to make a hexagon. Take one triangle, put a side of it flat down, take a second triangle, and put its point downwards and overlap it with the 1st triangle. Hint; It should make a Star of David. Hope this helped."
What is the formula for the area of a regular hexagon?
A regular hexagon can be considered as being built up of six equilateral triangles. Each equilateral triangle has an area of (b/2) * sqrt (3b/2) where b is the side of the equilateral triangles that make up the hexagon and also the radius of the hexagon's circumscribed circle, and sqrt means the square root ofSo the area of the regular hexagon with side length b is 3 * b * sqrt (3b/2)
Will 6 equilateral triangles make an octagon?
No but they will make a hexagon
How do you make a irregular hexagon out of 6 equilateral triangles?
First make a regular hexagon. Then take any one triangle and slide it through two heights so that it's base is on what was the opposite side. You will have an irregular, concave hexagon, shaped somewhat like an arrowhead.
How do you make an equilateral triangle?
An equilateral triangle has all equal sides. "Equal"ateral
What 4 identical shapes make triangle?
Four equilateral triangles make up another equilateral triangle.
What shape does 6 triangles make?
pentagon i think?
