(n-2)180 = 720
n-2 = 4
n = 6 sides
---
72/6 = 12 feet (length of each side
--
Sum of exterior angles = 360
Each of the 6 exterior angles = 360/6 = 60
So each of the interior angles is 180-60 = 120
---
So each pie-shaped interior regular triangle is 60-60-60
---
Knowing all that you should be able to find the area
of each of the interior triangles; then multiply by
6 to get the total interior area.
