A regular hexagon with side length is drawn. We flip coins, with each coin corresponding to a unique midpoint of the hexagon. Then, we take all the midpoints of which their corresponding coin resulted heads, and connect them in clockwise order to create a polygon inside the hexagon. If the expected value of the area of this polygon can be expressed as where are positive integers, are coprime and is square-free, then find .
A polygon with zero, one or two vertices has an area of .
