Expected Area inside Hexagon

Geometry Level 4

A regular hexagon with side length 1 1 is drawn. We flip 6 6 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 a b c \dfrac{a\sqrt{b}}{c} where a , b , c a,b,c are positive integers, a , c a,c are coprime and b b is square-free, then find a + b + c a+b+c .

Details and Assumptions \text{Details and Assumptions}

A polygon with zero, one or two vertices has an area of 0 0 .


The answer is 704.
