ABCDEF is a regular hexagon and PQR is an equilateral triangle of side a. The area of the shaded portion is X and CD : PQ : : 2 : 1. Find the area of the circle circumscribing the hexagon in terms of X.
Explanation:
Let the length of each side of the hexagon be y.
Area of the hexagon = 332y2
Area of the triangle = 316y2
Area of the shaded region = 23316 y2 = X
y2 = 16233X
Area of the circle = πy2
Thus, area of the circle in terms of X
= 16π233X
Hence, option (a).
