To create a hexagon using two triangles and a parallelogram, start by positioning the parallelogram horizontally. Place one triangle on one side of the parallelogram, ensuring that the base of the triangle aligns with the edge of the parallelogram. Then, place the second triangle on the opposite side of the parallelogram, mirroring the first triangle. This arrangement will form a hexagon, with the triangles serving as the top and bottom points, while the parallelogram provides the central structure.

the shape that can make two smaller triangles is parallelogram.
You could make a parallelogram.
Two isosceles right triangles, if joined hypotenuse-to-hypotenuse will make a square. Two squares, sided by side, make a rectangle which is a parallelogram, and not a square.
You need at least four triangles, or at least three trapeziums. Or two triangles and one trapezium.
Look at it the other way. Draw a hexagon, and draw two horizontal lines, in each case from one vertex to another one. That way you'll see how to divide the hexagon into a rectangle (not necessarily a square), and two triangles - which, of course, you can combine again to form the hexagon.
