AIME 2010b Problem 9

  • Paper
  • Answer

Let ABCDEFABCDEF be a regular hexagon. Let GG, HH, II, JJ, KK, and LL be the midpoints of sides ABAB, BCBC, CDCD, DEDE, EFEF, and AFAF, respectively. The segments AH‾\overline{AH}, BI‾\overline{BI}, CJ‾\overline{CJ}, DK‾\overline{DK}, EL‾\overline{EL}, and FG‾\overline{FG} bound a smaller regular hexagon. Let the ratio of the area of the smaller hexagon to the area of ABCDEFABCDEF be expressed as a fraction mn\frac {m}{n} where mm and nn are relatively prime positive integers. Find m+nm + n.
