Well in that picture, if the hexagon is a regular hexagon, then the triangle would be equilateral

ok lets assume it is a regular hexagon, how do you know its a equilateral triangle?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Because first of all, to create a regular hexagon, I need to start with a regular (equilateral) triangle and "cut off" the vertices. The result is a regular hexagon. I guess by similarity with the original equilateral triangle, the inner triangle is 60-60-60 |dw:1351137767851:dw|
