geometry - A rectangle of a given aspect ratio inscribed in a hexagon.

I'm trying to find the largest rectangle of a given aspect ratio that can be inscribed in a hexagon.



enter image description here



I'm able to sort of walk through the problem in reverse, i.e. given an x, I can calculate the rectangle and aspect ratio :




  1. find the point on AB for x

  2. find the point on DE for x


  3. find the point on BC across from #1

  4. calculate height : distance between #1 & #2

  5. calculate width : distance between #1 & #3

  6. Aspect ratio is #5 / #4



How would I go about doing this in reverse? Thanks in advance for any guidance!
