Yes, any polygon can be composed using only triangles.
How can a you make a hexagon using a trapozid and 2 triangles
To form a hexagon, you would need a total of 6 triangles. Each side of the hexagon would be made up of one triangle, so when you combine all six sides, it creates a hexagon. This is because a hexagon is a polygon with six sides and six angles, and each side is made up of a single triangle.
Because all other polygons are made from triangles as for example an 8 sided octagon has 6 triangles within it or a 6 sided hexagon has 4 triangles within it.
To create a large triangle using one hexagon and three triangles, first, position the hexagon so that one of its sides is aligned horizontally. Then, place the three triangles around the hexagon, with their bases aligned with the hexagon's sides, forming an outward-facing triangle shape. Ensure that the points of the triangles reach outward to complete the larger triangle's vertices. Adjust the positioning to ensure all shapes fit together seamlessly, creating a cohesive larger triangle.
