Area of Hexagon=[3*Sqrt(3)/2]*a^2.................................(a=side of Hexagon)
726*Sqrt(3)=[3*Sqrt(3)/2]*a^2..............................................(i)
Simplify (i)
a=Sqrt(484)
Perimeter of Hexagon=6*a=6*Sqrt(484)..........................(ii)
Perimeter of circle=Pi*d=Perimeter of Hexagon............(iii)
Pi*d=6*Sqrt(484)...................................................from (ii)&(iii)
d=(6/Pi)*Sqrt(484).................................................................(iv)
Area of Circle=(Pi/4)*d^2
=1386..............................[by putting the value of 'd' from (iv)]
Ans is 1386Cm^2

If the area of the larger square is subtracted from twice the area of the smaller square, then the result is 8 cm^2. However, if 3 times the area of the smaller square is added to 2 times the area of the larger square, then the result is 236 cm^2. Determine the side of the two squares.
