There is a six-sided object.A regular hexagonal has six side lengths.Because it has six axes of symmetry, it is possible to divide a regular hexagon into smaller parts using the center point as a reference point.There are no specific methods for dividing an irregular hexagon into three equal parts because each one has different properties.
Step 1: The center of the hexagon is marked.
If the center isn't marked, you can find it using a straightedge.Draw a diagonal line connecting the two sides of the picture.Draw a second diagonal.The center point of the hexagon is the intersection of these diagonals.After drawing the diagonals, erase them.
Step 2: A line should be drawn from the center point to the next point.
You can start with any part.To draw the line use a straightedge.
Step 3: The lines should be drawn from the center point to the third and fifth.
If you want to have three lines, you should skip every other one.The equilateral triangles are six equal areas.Half as many equal areas can be created by drawing a line to each other.
Step 4: Pick the three equal parts.
The rhombus is a four-sided figure with two sets of parallel sides.
Step 5: There is a side of the hexagon.
There are six equal side lengths for a regular hexagon.Use a ruler to draw a line if the side length is specified.You can draw the line to be any length if there is no side length specified.You could draw lineAB 5 centimeters long.
Step 6: The compass should be set to the side length.
Place the compass point on one of the line's endpoints and stretch it so that the pencil tip touches the other endpoint.
Step 7: The center point of the hexagon is to be drawn.
Place the point of the compass at the first endpoint and draw a small arcs above the line to do this.Then, place the point of the compass on the other endpoint and draw a small arcs.The center point of the hexagon is the point at which the two arcs intersect.The width of the compass should not be changed.
Step 8: A circle is drawn around the center point.
To draw a circle, keep the same compass width, and move the point of the compass to the center point.
Step 9: The six edges of the hexagon are marked.
The endpoints of the original line mark the first two vertices.The first endpoint of the line is where the compass should be.Place the pencil on the edge of the circle.This is the second one.The compass point should be moved to this new location.There is a point on the edge of the circle.This is the fourth one.You have to complete this process before you have all six vertices marked.Don't change the compass width.
Step 10: Draw a line from one point to another.
Remove the circle and any extra markings to tidy up your hexagon.You need the center point of the hexagon to divide it into three equal parts.
