Equilateral with side length is rotated about its center by angle , where , to form . See the figure. The area of hexagon is . What is ?
Solution #1
let O be circumcenter of the equilateral triangle
OF =
2(Area(OFC) + Area (OCE)) =
is invalid given <60
.
Solution #2
From 's side lengths of 14, we get OF = OC = OE = We let angle FOC = (\theta) And therefore angle EOC = 120 - (\theta)
The answer would be 3 * (Area + Area )
Which area = 0.5 * ^2 * sin(\theta)
And area = 0.5 * ^2 * sin(120 - \theta)
Therefore the answer would be 3 * 0.5 * ()^2 * (sin(\theta)+sin(120 - \theta)) = {91\sqrt{3}}
Which
So
Therefore
And
Which
tan(\theta) can be calculated using addition identity, which gives the answer of
(I would really appreciate if someone can help me fix my code and format)
