document.write( "The radius of the circumscribed circle is 4 cm  ---- the same as the side length of the hexagon.\r\n" );

document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "The radius of the inscribed circle is  \"4%2A%28sqrt%283%29%2F2%29\" cm  --- the same as the apothem of the regular hexagon.\r\n" );

document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    area = \"pi%2A16\" - \"pi%2A16%2A%283%2F4%29\" = 4pi  square centimeters.    ANSWER\r\n" );
