Review text

Let \(ABCDEF\) be a regular hexagon, \(M\) a point on the segment \(BC\), and \(N\) a point in the interior of the hexagon such that the triangle \(AMN\) is equilateral. The author first proves that the area of the hexagon is 3 times the area of the triangle precisely when \(M\) divides \(BC\) in the golden ration. This property is used to identify 15 segments divided in the golden ratio by points naurally attached to this configuration.
