To solve the puzzle it is enough to turn the
smaller hexagon as shown in the illustration. The inner straight lines
divide the larger hexagon into 24 congruent triangles, 18 of which
form the smaller hexagon. The ratio of areas is 18 : 24 = 3 : 4, and
so if the smaller hexagon has an area of three, the larger one has as
area of four. |
