Answer from: TaraC

You can compute the area of the region between the hexagon and the circle by subtracting:

Area of region = Area of hexagon - Area of inscribed circle

Let's find those areas.

If we draw a segment from the center of the hexagon to each of its vertex, the hexagon will be divided into 6 equal triangles. For any of those triangles, the angle in the center equals 360°/6 = 60°. Being the other angles equal, all three angles must equal 60° (because they must add up to 180°). Hence, those triangles are equilateral. The height (h) from the center divides the triangle into two equal right triangles. We know the hypotenuse is 6, because of the equilateral triangle we began with, and one of the other sides is half the side of the hexagon, 3. Applying the Pythagorean Theorem to this right triangle, we find that its height is:

$h = \sqrt{6^2-3^2}=\sqrt{27} = 3\sqrt{3} = 5.20$

By the way, this height is also the radius of the inscribed circle, and we'll be using it later to find its area.

Now, we can find the area of each of the six triangles into which we divided the hexagon:

$A = \dfrac{1}{2}\cdot 6 \cdot 3\sqrt{3} = 9\sqrt{3} = 15.59$

There are six of those triangles. So, finally, the area of the hexagon is:

Area of hexagon = 6A = $54\sqrt{3} = 93.53$

Let's move on to the circle. It's easier, because we already know its radius. The area of a circle with radius r is given by:

Area of circle = $\pi\cdot r^2 = \pi \cdot \left(3\sqrt{3}\right)^2 = 27\cdot \pi = 84.82$

Last, the area of the region:

Area of region = Area of hexagon - Area of circle = 93.53 - 84.82 = 8.71

I’m guessing that the answer is c, but i’m not sure which grid is being talked about. since 5x5= 25 and 3x3= 9 (which there are no answers for). a is not right because while the ratio is the same, 6/25= 0.24 which is equal to 24% not 30%.
