Equilateral hexagon (Posted on 2020-09-08) Difficulty: 3 of 5
A certain convex hexagon is equilateral but not equiangular. Its opposite sides are also parallel, and separated by distances of 27, 31 and 38.

Find the area of this hexagon.

where I stopped | Comment 2 of 5 |
Before giving up I wanted a fairly representative figure to start drawing right angles within. So I cut out long rectangular stencils of width 27, 31, and 38 and rotated each atop the other (could have use PowerPoint I guess). Nothing seemed to make a perfect equilateral, so I quit. Maybe I came close - don't know.
