Let's assume the triangle has points A, B, and C.
Method 1 (3 lines)
Draw two lines across the triangle parallel to line segment AB. Now you have two trapezoids and one triangle. Draw another line from C to the any point on the closest of the two lines you just drew, splitting the triangle into two more triangles.
Method 2 (2 lines)
Draw one line across the triangle parallel to line segment AB. Now you have one trapezoid and one triangle. Draw a second line that passes through C and is perpendicular to AB, splitting the trapezoid into two trapezoids and the triangle into 2 triangles.
Method 3 (3 lines)
Draw one line from point C to any point on line segment AB. Then draw a line parallel to AC and one parallel to BC, but don't let them cross the line you just drew.

How many trapezoids in a hexagon?
Well, honey, a hexagon has six sides, so technically you can fit six trapezoids in there if you get creative with your shapes. But if you're talking about how many trapezoids can fit perfectly inside a hexagon without overlapping, then the answer is zero. Hexagons and trapezoids are like apples and oranges, they just don't fit together like that.
