# Find the area of the hexagon with given conditions [closed]

Draw a regular hexagon and a regular dodecagon (12-sided polygon) inscribed in a circle. If the area of the dodecagon is $$12~\text{cm}^2$$, find the area of the hexagon in $$\text{cm}^2$$. (Express your answer in surd form.)

Please solve this. This is the only one problem in my geometry paper that can't be solved by us.

• What is surd form? – El borito Jan 18 at 6:58

Note that $$(ABO)=1 = (BCO)$$. Also, is not difficult to see that, in the $$\triangle ABO$$:
with $$\triangle ABC \cong \triangle AOK$$, where $$K$$ is the circumcenter of $$ABO$$, so you can compute $$(ABC)$$ and then $$(ACO)$$ and finally multiply by 6.
