Problem

Let $ABCDEFG$ be a regular hexagon with side length $1$. Denote $X$, $Y$, and $Z$ the midpoints of sides $AB$, $CD$, and $EF$, respectively. What is the area of the convex hexagon whose interior is the intersection of the interiors of $\triangle ACE$ and $\triangle XYZ$?

$\textbf{(A)} \frac {3}{8}\sqrt{3} \qquad \textbf{(B)} \frac {7}{16}\sqrt{3} \qquad \textbf{(C)} \frac {15}{32}\sqrt{3} \qquad  \textbf{(D)} \frac {1}{2}\sqrt{3} \qquad \textbf{(E)} \frac {9}{16}\sqrt{3} \qquad$


Answer: $\frac {15}{32}\sqrt{3}$
