Final answer:

If you place six equilateral triangles side by side so that only two sides of each triangle touch one of the other triangles, a hexagon shape is formed.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you place six equilateral triangles side by side so that only two sides of each triangle touch one of the other triangles, a hexagon shape is formed. A hexagon is a polygon with six sides. Each side of the hexagon is formed by the sides of the equilateral triangles. The hexagon has six vertices where the corners of the triangles meet.

If you were to combine all 6 of the triangles it should have formed a hexagon
