Since the regular hexagon with is made up of 6 equilateral triangle of the same side length. It can easily see that diagonal C F = 2 .
We note that △ B C J and △ G F J are similar. Therefore F J C J = G F B C = 2 , ⟹ C J = 2 F J . Since C F = 2 , ⟹ C J = 3 4 .
Now, we connect B D which intersects C F at L . Again, we note that △ B K L and △ B H D are similar and H D K L = B D B L = 2 1 , ⟹ K L = 2 1 H D = 4 1 .
Now the area of △ B J K is given by:
[ B J K ] = 2 J K ⋅ B L = 2 ( C J − K L − L C ) sin 6 0 ∘ = 2 ( 3 4 − 4 1 − cos 6 0 ∘ ) sin 6 0 ∘ = 4 8 7 3 ≈ 0 . 2 5
