How do you get two thirds of a hexagon
Minimally, two (2) trapezoids are necessary to create a hexagon. (This solution comes from drawing a line straight across the center of the hexagon.) Most numbers (if not all) greater than two are also feasible, but with more finagling.
That's like asking "What makes a Chevy a Ford ?". A Hexagon has six sides. None of them have to be equal or parallel. A parallelogram has four sides. Two of them are equal and parallel, and the other two are also equal and parallel. To take a hexagon and make it a parallelogram, you have to do some serious cutting and welding.
It can have two congruent sides but does not have to.
