Three congruent regular hexagons can be drawn in such a way that all of them overlap each other and create more than 6 distinct areas or compartments.

Question

True
False

Answer 1

True.

When overlapping three congruent regular hexagons, it's possible to create more than six distinct areas or compartments. Each hexagon contributes to the overlapping regions, and because they can intersect in various configurations, the number of distinct areas formed can exceed six. The way the hexagons overlap and the points of intersection determine the total number of distinct regions created.
