AMC 12 2022b Problem 25
- Paper
Four regular hexagons surround a square with a side length , each one sharing an edge with the square, as shown in the figure below. The area of the resulting 12-sided outer nonconvex polygon can be written as , where , , and are integers and is not divisible by the square of any prime. What is ?
import geometry;
unitsize(3cm);
draw((0,0) -- (1,0) -- (1,1) -- (0,1) -- cycle);
draw(shift((1/2,1-sqrt(3)/2))*polygon(6));
draw(shift((1/2,sqrt(3)/2))*polygon(6));
draw(shift((sqrt(3)/2,1/2))*rotate(90)*polygon(6));
draw(shift((1-sqrt(3)/2,1/2))*rotate(90)*polygon(6));
draw((0,1-sqrt(3))--(1,1-sqrt(3))--(3-sqrt(3),sqrt(3)-2)--(sqrt(3),0)--(sqrt(3),1)--(3-sqrt(3),3-sqrt(3))--(1,sqrt(3))--(0,sqrt(3))--(sqrt(3)-2,3-sqrt(3))--(1-sqrt(3),1)--(1-sqrt(3),0)--(sqrt(3)-2,sqrt(3)-2)--cycle,linewidth(2));
