Question 1179701: A hexagon of side length 4cm has both an inscribed and
a circumscribed circle. What is the area of the
region (called an annulus) between the two circles? Answer by ikleyn(52788) (Show Source):
The radius of the circumscribed circle is 4 cm ---- the same as the side length of the hexagon.
The radius of the inscribed circle is cm --- the same as the apothem of the regular hexagon.
Therefore, the area under the problem's question is
area = - = 4pi square centimeters. ANSWER
