Two boards, one four inches wide and the other six inches wide, are nailed together to form an X. The angle at which they cross is 60 degrees. If this structure is painted and the boards are separated what is the area of the unpainted region on the four-inch board? Express your answer in simplest radical form. We can ignore the holes from the nails

The area of the unpainted region is 40*sqrt(5).

Do you have the right to post this question geo?  Where does it come from?

I believe it was a mathcounts question. It was on a alcumus quiz and I got the answer wrong.

ok.

Be careful what you post. It is important not to break copyright laws or any rules you have agreed to for your learning institution.
