Note that the ratio of the purple region is :
1
2
8
⟹
Area of the purple region is :
1
2

Thank you for sharing your solution.
I just saw it.
We note that 6 equilateral triangles make up the hexagon of area 9 0 and the area of purple region is equal to 4 equilateral triangles or 6 4 × 9 0 = 6 0 .
Thank you Sir for sharing your solution.
Nice transformation!!
Cut the figure into 1 2 regions using diagonals.
Focus on half of the figure. 4 regions are purple, 2 are not.
Hence, ratio of purple to figure = 4 + 2 4 = 3 2 .
Since whole figure's area = 9 0 ,
Purple area = 3 2 × 9 0 = 6 0
Thank you for sharing your solution.
