Problem

I hope someone will enter this.


Solution

Let the hexagon described be of area $H$ and let the circle's area be $C$. Let the area we want to aim for be $A$. Thus, we have that $C-H=H-A$, or $A=2H-C$. By some formulas, $C=πr^2=π$ (Error compiling LaTeX. Unknown error_msg) and $H=6\cdot\frac12\cdot1\cdot(\frac12\cdot\sqrt3)=\frac{3\sqrt3}2$. Thus, $A=3\sqrt3-π$ (Error compiling LaTeX. Unknown error_msg) or B.
