Problem

Circles with centers $O$ and $P$ have radii $2$ and $4$, respectively, and are externally tangent. Points $A$ and $B$ on the circle with center $O$ and points $C$ and $D$ on the circle with center $P$ are such that $AD$ and $BC$ are common external tangents to the circles. What is the area of the concave hexagon $AOBCPD$?

Solution 1 (Similar Triangles)

When we see this problem, it practically screams similar triangles at us. Extend $OP$ to the left until it intersects lines $AD$ and $BC$ at point $E$. Triangles $EBO$ and $ECP$ are similar, and by symmetry, so are triangles $EAO$ and $EDP$. Then, the area of kite $EAOB$ is just $4 \sqrt{2} \times 2$ and the area of kite $EDPC$ is $8 \sqrt{2} \times 4$ (using our similarity ratios). The difference of these yields the area of hexagon $AOBCPD$ or $24\sqrt{2} \Longrightarrow \boxed{\mathrm{(B)}}$.

Solution 2 (Perpendiculars)

File is too big, so go to https://www.imgur.com/a/7aphGaa

Sorry for the wrong point names, I didn't know how to change them.

Since a tangent line is perpendicular to the radius containing the point of tangency, $\angle OAD = \angle PDA = 90^\circ$.

Construct a perpendicular to $DP$ that goes through point $O$. Label the point of intersection $X$.

Clearly $OADX$ is a rectangle, so $DX=2$ and $PX=2$. By the Pythagorean Theorem, $OX = \sqrt{6^2 - 2^2} = 4\sqrt{2}$.

The area of $OADX$ is $2\cdot4\sqrt{2}=8\sqrt{2}$. The area of $OXP$ is $\frac{1}{2}\cdot2\cdot4\sqrt{2}=4\sqrt{2}$, so the area of quadrilateral $OADP$ is $8\sqrt{2}+4\sqrt{2}=12\sqrt{2}$. Using similar steps, the area of quadrilateral $OBCP$ is also $12\sqrt{2}$. Therefore, the area of hexagon $AOBCPD$ is $2\cdot12\sqrt{2}= 24\sqrt{2} \Longrightarrow \boxed{\mathrm{(B)}}$.


Note: Quadrilaterals $OADP$ and $OBCP$ are congruent, so they have equal areas.
