So, how many diamonds are in a hexagon really?
If you're staring at a set of pattern blocks or a geometry puzzle and wondering how many diamonds are in a hexagon, the simplest answer is three. If you take three standard rhombuses (those blue diamond shapes you see in math kits) and push them together so they all meet at a center point, you've perfectly recreated a hexagon. It's one of those satisfying moments in geometry where everything just clicks into place without any gaps or overlaps. ...
