Solution 1
First observe that and
. Let points

and
are congruent, so hexagons
and
have the same area. Furthermore, triangles
and
are congruent, so
and quadrilateral
is an isosceles trapezoid.
Next, remark that
, so quadrilateral
is also an isosceles trapezoid; in turn,
, and similarly
. Thus, Ptolmey's theorem on
yields
, whence
. Let

is a
triangle with a
triangle removed), which implies the area of

.
Now let and
; the tangency of circles
and
implies
. Furthermore, angles
and
are opposite angles in cyclic quadrilateral
, which implies the measure of angle
is
. Therefore, the Law of Cosines applied to triangle
yields
Thus , and so the area of triangle
is
.
Thus, the area of hexagon is
.

Solution 3
Let points and
be the reflections of
and
respectively, about the perpendicular bisector of
The arcs
and
are equal, since the corresponding chords are equal.
The chords are equal, since the corresponding arcs are equal.
on three sides.
since the corresponding arcs are equal.
The quadrilateral
with equal sides is an isosceles trapezoid, so
Thus, Ptolmey's theorem on
yields
whence
The area of the trapezoid
is equal to the area of an isosceles triangle with sides
and
This area is
The height of the trapezoid is equal to the height of this triangle, that is,
since the sum of these angles

hence
Then
Semiperimeter of is
The distance from the vertex to the tangent points of the inscribed circle of the triangle
is equal

The area of hexagon
is equal to the sum of the area of the trapezoid
and the areas of two equal triangles
and
so the area of the hexagon
is
