To determine the number of pattern block rhombuses needed to create 2 hexagons, we need to understand the relationship between the two shapes.
A pattern block rhombus is a rhombus-shaped tile commonly used in geometry and math education. It is composed of two equilateral triangles joined together.
A hexagon, on the other hand, is a polygon with six sides. Each side of a regular hexagon is congruent to the others, and all its angles are equal.
In order to create a hexagon using pattern block rhombuses, we need to consider the arrangement of the rhombuses. Let's assume that the hexagons we want to create are regular hexagons.
A regular hexagon can be divided into six equilateral triangles. Each equilateral triangle can be formed using two pattern block rhombuses. Therefore, to create one regular hexagon, we need a total of 6 equilateral triangles x 2 rhombuses per triangle = 12 pattern block rhombuses.
Since we want to create 2 hexagons, we multiply the number of rhombuses required for one hexagon by 2:
12 pattern block rhombuses per hexagon x 2 hexagons = 24 pattern block rhombuses.
Therefore, we would need 24 pattern block rhombuses to create 2 regular hexagons.
