2021 Fall AMC 12A Problem 14
In the figure, equilateral hexagon ABCDEF has three nonadjacent acute interior angles that each measure 30^\circ. The enclosed area of the hexagon is 6\sqrt{3}. What is the perimeter of the hexagon? ![[asy] size(10cm); pen p=black+linewidth(1),q=black+linewidth(5); pair C=(0,0),D=(cos(pi/12),sin(pi/12)),E=rotate(150,D)*C,F=rotate(-30,E)*D,A=rotate(150,F)*E,B=rotate(-30,A)*F; draw(C--D--E--F--A--B--cycle,p); dot(A,q); dot(B,q); dot(C,q); dot(D,q); dot(E,q); dot(F,q); label("$C$",C,2*S); label("$D$",D,2*S); label("$E$",E,2*S); label("$F$",F,2*dir(0)); label("$A$",A,2*N); label("$B$",B,2*W); [/asy]](/static/aops/a56ad4a8f0c3ee317ec1407cdc8566a48e070ae5.png)
