Take The Midpoints, Get Equilateral? (Posted on 2007-08-01) Difficulty: 2 of 5
The circumcircle of the hexagon PQRSTU has a radius of length 1. It is known that PQ = RS = TU = 1.

Let J, K and L correspond respectively to the mid points of the sides QR, ST and UP.

Is it always the case that the triangle JKL is equilateral?

I think the wording of the problem rules this out but if the hexagon is not a simple polygon (and so is self intersecting) the triangle seems not to be equilateral.
