You get 6 triangles.
A hexagon have three diamonds. Two perfect diamonds attach together and the third diamond cut into half to create a hexagon. I know it can be a bit confusing but that is the logic of have three diamonds in a hexagon.
Draw a line from midpoint of every other side to the center.
Select any point inside the hexagon and draw a line segment to any point on the boundary of the hexagon. Draw 7 more such segments. These will divide the hexagon into 8 parts. The parts will not be equal but that was not a requirement of the question.

The interior angle of a regular hexagon is 120 degrees.

Very many if they are much smaller than the hexagon.If the square is to have the same length side as an equilateral hexagon and you are not allowed to cut the square then one.If you are allowed to cut the square but it (they) have to have the same length side as an equilateral hexagon then: about 2.6 [Exactly (3 * (Sqrt 3)) / 2 ]
dont ask me, ask mathematicions
A hexagon can be drawn either with a compass or round object, or free hand. A hexagon has six equal sides and six equal angles. For a perfect hexagon, a compass is recommended. * * * * * While a hexagon does have six sides and six vertices, these need not be equal. If the sides are all equal AND the angles are equal, then the hexagon is a regular hexagon.
Partitioning a general hexagon into 18 congruent parts is normally impossible.
The answer depends on how you cut it.Even with a single straight cut you can get:a triangle and a heptagon,a triangle and a hexagon,a triangle and a pentagon,a quadrilateral and a hexagon,a quadrilateral and a pentagon,two quadrilaterals (trapezium),two pentagons.
Partitioning a general hexagon into 6 equal parts is normally extremely difficult..
Draw a line from midpoint of every other side to the center.
a... hexagon??? A cube.
