Expert Answer
Interior angle of regular polygon of n sides = [ (n-2)/n ] π
Interior angle of regular hexagon = (2/3)π
Hence if one of the angle of triangle is equal to exterior angle of regular hexagon, then this angle = π/3 = 60°
Interior angle of regular polygon of 12 sides = (5/6)π
Hence if one of the angle of triangle is equal to exterior angle of regular polygon of 12 sides,
then this angle = π/6 = 30°
hence angles of triangle are 30°, 60° and 90°.
we know that if a triangle has angles 30°, 60° and 90° , then the sides are in the ratio 1 : √3 : 2
Let x be the side opposite to 30° angle, then (√3)x be the side opposite to 60° and 2x be the side opposite to right angles.
Hence perimeter, x + (√3)x + 2x = 6+2√3 or x = 2.
hence sides of the right angles are 2 and 2√3 . Hence area = (1/2)×2×2√3 = 2√3 sq. units
