Problem

Let $ABCDEF$ be a regular hexagon with side length $1$ . Denote $X$ , $Y$ , and $Z$ the midpoints of sides $\overline {AB}$ , $\overline{CD}$ , and $\overline{EF}$ , 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: $\frac {15}{32}\sqrt{3}$
