For those who are interested in Geometry: A triangle has an area of 1 unit. Each of its sides is divided into 4 equal parts through 3 points. The first and the last point of each side will be connected with each other to form 2 inscribed triangles and these 2 triangles form a hexagon. Find the area of the hexagon. What is the result, if each side is equally divided into 5 parts, or generally into n parts?
