i) Show that a regular hexagon, six squares, and six equilateral triangles can be assembled without overlapping to form a regular dodecagon. ii) Let P1,P2,,P12P_1 , P_2 ,\ldots, P_{12} be the vertices of a regular dodecagon. Prove that the three diagonals P1P9,P2P11P_{1}P_{9}, P_{2}P_{11} and P4P12P_{4}P_{12} intersect.
