Video Summary
The problem involves determining the fraction of a regular hexagon that is shaded, given it's divided into triangles of equal area. Observing a single slice of the hexagon shows two shaded triangles out of six. Each of the six slices maintains this pattern. Therefore, the entire hexagon consists of 12 shaded triangles out of 36 total triangles. Consequently, the fraction of the hexagon that is shaded is \( \frac{12}{36} \), simplifying to \( \frac{1}{3} \). So, the shaded fraction of the hexagon is 1/3.
