This hexagon math found online is claimed as an OXFORD University Entrance Test. In this video, the intriguing constant length of an irregular hexagon is calculated through simple math tricks. I solved step-by-step geometric construction, breaking down the angles, lengths, and relationships.

In the Oxford University admission test question, they asked similar to this: Calculate the length of a side of an irregular hexagon, where all sides have the same length and the hexagon is fitted within a square of side length 1.
From this question, two points are clear
1) The side length of the square is 1 and,
2) Each length of the hexagon is equal.
Let's consider the side length of each hexagon to be x. We have to calculate the value of x.
In the calculation, the Pythagorean Theorem is used to solve the problem which is followed by a quadratic equation. Additionally, we showed how to solve a quadratic equation in terms of P and Q.
