easy!  in an equilateral triangle the center divides  the height 2:1 ⇒ R=2c=2(√3)  (the line with length 1 is (1/6) of the side of the  triangle)

both triangles inscribed in the hexagon

$$\mathrm{both}\:\mathrm{triangles}\:\mathrm{inscribed}\:\mathrm{in}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{hexagon} \\ $$

radius is c+x.  x^3 −x=2c.  The triangles cannot  be equilateral for other values  except a certain one, Sir.

$${radius}\:{is}\:{c}+{x}. \\ $$$${x}^{\mathrm{3}} −{x}=\mathrm{2}{c}.\:\:{The}\:{triangles}\:{cannot} \\ $$$${be}\:{equilateral}\:{for}\:{other}\:{values} \\ $$$${except}\:{a}\:{certain}\:{one},\:{Sir}. \\ $$

ok. the picture looked to me as if it was a  regular hexagon...

$$\mathrm{ok}.\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{picture}\:\mathrm{looked}\:\mathrm{to}\:\mathrm{me}\:\mathrm{as}\:\mathrm{if}\:\mathrm{it}\:\mathrm{was}\:\mathrm{a} \\ $$$$\mathrm{regular}\:\mathrm{hexagon}... \\ $$
