Find the ratio of the area of a regular hexagon with sides of 1 unit to the area of an equilateral triangle with sides of 2 units. (Nots: "regular" means that all of the sides and angles are equal)
ABCDEF is a regular hexagon and PQR is an equilateral triangle.
In ABCDEF,
area(△AOB) = area(△BOC) = area(△COD) = area(△DOE) = area(△EOF) = area(△FOA)
⇒area(ABCDEF) = area(△AOB + △BOC + △COD + △DOE + △EOF + △FOA)
=√34+√34+√34+√34+√34+√34
=6×√34
=3√32 sq. units
⇒area(△PQR) =√34×4
=√3 sq. units
area(ABCDEF)area(△PQR)=32=3:2
