Problem
Let 
be a regular hexagon with side length 
. Denote 
, 
, and 
the midpoints of sides 
, 
, and 
, respectively. What is the area of the convex hexagon whose interior is the intersection of the interiors of 
and 
?
Answer: 
Solution
pair A,B,C,D,E,F,W,X,Y,Z;
A=(0,sqrt(3));
B=(1,sqrt(3));
C=(3/2,sqrt(3)/2);
D=(1,0);
E=(0,0);
F=(-1/2,sqrt(3)/2);
X=(1/2, sqrt(3));
Y=(5/4, sqrt(3)/4);
Z=(-1/4, sqrt(3)/4);
M=(0,sqrt(3)/2);
N=(1,3/2);
O=(1,1/2);
draw(A--B--C--D--E--F--cycle);
draw(A--C--E--cycle);
draw(X--Y--Z--cycle);
draw(M--N--O);
label("$A$",A,NW);
