Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: There are 6 equilateral triangles in a regular hexagon by connecting the opposite vertices of a regular hexagon.

From this it can be seen that a triangle with a vertex at the center of the regular hexagon and sharing one side with the hexagon is equilateral, and that the regular hexagon can be partitioned into six equilateral triangles.
