Solution 3
Let points and be the reflections of and respectively, about the perpendicular bisector of We establish the equality of the arcs and conclude that the corresponding chords are equal Similarly
Ptolemy's theorem on yields The area of the trapezoid is equal to the area of an isosceles triangle with sides and
The height of this triangle is The area of is
Denote hence
Semiperimeter of is
The distance from the vertex to the tangent points of the inscribed circle of the triangle is equal
The radius of the inscribed circle is
The area of triangle is
The hexagon has the same area as hexagon

Solution 4
Let circle 's radius be , then the radius of circle is . Based on Brahmagupta's Formula,

Now we only need to find the .
Connect and , and , and let be the point of intersection between and circle , based on the " 2 Non-Congruent Triangles of 'SSA' Scenario " , we can immediately see and therefore get an equation from the "Power of A Point Theorem:

Similarly,

We can also get two other equations about these 4 segments from Ptolemy's Theorem:
(3)
(4)
Multiply equations (1) and (2), and equations (3) and (4) respectively, we will get a very simple and nice equation of :
,
then:
.
This result is good enough for us to find the hexagon's area, which:
