Place the hexagon on a table so that the top and bottom sides are parallel to the edge of the table.
Place the edge of a ruler so that it connects the right ends of the top and bottom edges.
Measure the distance between these points, and divide it by two to find the midpoint. Do not move the ruler.
Make a mark at the midpoint of the line between the right ends of the top and bottom edges. This is the line along the edge of the ruler.
Mark the midpoint of the distance between the left side of the top and bottom edges in the same way.
Place the ruler so that it connects the two points. Divide the distance you calculated earlier in half. You will be calculating one-fourth of the distance you first measured. Mark this distance along the edge of the ruler from both points toward the center of the hexagon. Mark the new points, and erase the original points.
Draw a line between the two points with a ruler.
Draw a line from the right end of the line you just drew to the right end of the top edge and another line from the right end of the line to the right end of the bottom edge. Use a ruler to draw both lines.
Draw a line from the left end of the line to the left end of the top edge and another line from the left end of the line to the left end of the bottom edge. Use a ruler to draw both lines. These five lines will form four quadrilaterals, two trapezoids and two parallelograms.
