Problem

[asy]   pair A=dir(60),B=dir(120),C=dir(180),D=dir(240),E=dir(300),F=dir(360),O=(0,0); pair G=(2/sqrt(3))*A,H=(2/sqrt(3))*B,I=(2/sqrt(3))*C,J=(2/sqrt(3))*D,K=(2/sqrt(3))*E,L=(2/sqrt(3))*F; draw(circle(O,1),black); draw(A--B--C--D--E--F--A); draw(G--H--I--J--K--L--G);  [/asy]

Find the ratio of the area of a regular hexagon circumscribed around a circle to the area of a regular hexagon inscribed inside the same circle. (A polygon is called regular if all its sides are the same length and all its corner angles have the same measure. A hexagon is a polygon with six sides.)

Solution

$\frac{4}{3}$
