Detailed Solution

Let 3a = side of equilateral the area of the triNGLE =
√ 3/4 =a2
√3/4 ×(3a)2
= 9√3/4 a2
Question ImageWe know that a regular hexagon is formed by joining 6 equilateral triangles .
Hence side of regular hexagon inscribed form an equilateralPQR = 3a/3 = 9 cm
Area of PQR = Area of hexagon ABCDEF = 6×√3/4 ×a2
= 6√3/4 a2
Area of PQR / Area of hexagon ABCDEF
= 9√3/A2/ 4×6√3×A2/4 = 3/2
