A point P in the interior of a regular hexagon is at distance units from three consecutive vertices of the hexagon, respectively. If is radius of the circumscribed circle of the hexagon, what is the integer closest to ?
Correct answer
14
Step-by-step solution
Note that \& Hence is similar to , hence \& are collinear. Let each side of hexagon be equal to . Let, be foot of altitudes from to base respectively. So is centre of hexagon Now Note that circumradius of a regular hexagon = side of regular hexagon Hence Hence nearest integer
