if we extend the sides we can form 2  equlateral triangles. In those, the sum  of the distances from any point inside  to the sides is constant independent of  the chosen point.  ⇒S_(hex) =2(3+4+5)=2.12=24  The sum of the distances from a point  to two opposite sides is constant.  ⇒3+x=4+y=5+z=S/3=8  ⇒x=5,y=4,z=3
