Problem
Three squares are drawn so that each will contain a side of regular hexagon as shown in the given figure. If the hexagon has a perimeter of 60 in., compute the area of the region common to the three squares. The required area is the shaded region in the figure.

A regular pyramid is one whose base is a regular polygon whose center coincides with the foot of the perpendicular dropped from the vertex to the base.
Rhombus is a quadrilateral with all sides equal (equilateral). Rectangle is a quadrilateral with all included angles are equal (equiangular). Square is both equilateral and equiangular, thus square is a regular polygon. Regular polygons are polygons with all sides equal and all included angles equal. Meaning, regular polygons are both equilateral and equiangular.
