How make triangles does it take to make a hexagon?

Answer 1

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."
