Let ABCDEF be a regular hexagon. What is the ratio of the area of the triangle ACE to that of the hexagon ABCDEF?
Explanation:
ABCDEF is a regular hexagon, join centre O with vertices A, C and E.
In quadrilateral AFEO, diagonal EA divides it into two equal area triangles.
i.e. Area (∆AFE) = Area (∆AOE)
Similarly, Area (∆ABC) = Area (∆AOC)
And, Area (∆CDE) = Area (∆COE)
∴Area(∆ACE)Area(Hexagon ABCDEF)=36=12
Hence, option (b).
