Problem
A regular hexagon of side length 
is inscribed in a circle. Each minor arc of the circle
determined by a side of the hexagon is reflected over that side. What is the area of the region
bounded by these 
reflected arcs?
Solution
Let the hexagon described be of area 
and let the circle's area be 
.
Let the area we want to aim for be 
.
Thus, we have that 
, or 
.
By some formulas, 
and 
.
Thus, 
or 
.
