Geometry help? is there anything special about a triangle inscribed inside a hexagon, where the triangles hits the middle of 3 sides of the hexagon? Picture below if there is something, please explain why
|dw:1351127584304:dw|
Well in that picture, if the hexagon is a regular hexagon, then the triangle would be equilateral
ok lets assume it is a regular hexagon, how do you know its a equilateral triangle?
Because first of all, to create a regular hexagon, I need to start with a regular (equilateral) triangle and "cut off" the vertices. The result is a regular hexagon. I guess by similarity with the original equilateral triangle, the inner triangle is 60-60-60 |dw:1351137767851:dw|
oh i see thanks just wondering do you know how to do it using complex numbers?
