We will try to find the coordinates of each point,as this is regular hexagon the points will be like (1,0),(1/2,root(3)/2),(-1/2,root(3)/2),(-1,0)(-1/2,-root(3)/2),(1/2,-root(3)/2), in anti-clockwise direction and you can find the distance using distance formula .So then the product of the
lengths of the line segments A0 A1, A0 A2 & A0 A4 is : 3
