Problem 6 of 25EasierGeometry
In an equilateral triangle each interior angle is trisected by a pair of rays. The intersection of the interiors of the middle -angle at each vertex is the interior of a convex hexagon. What is the degree measure of the smallest angle of this hexagon?

Solution
Label the equilateral triangle Each angle splits into three pieces. Take the outermost trisectors from and : they meet at base angles so the hexagon vertex there has angle The innermost trisectors from and meet at base angles giving apex and by vertical angles that’s the opposite hexagon angle. So the six angles alternate and The smallest is Therefore, the answer is C.
