We note that the lines partition the hexagon of the six extremal lines into disjoint unit regular triangles, and forms a series of unit regular triangles along the edge of the hexagon.Solving the above equations for?, we see that the hexagon in question is regular, with side length?. Then, the number of triangles within the hexagon is simply the ratio of the area of the hexagon to the area of a regular triangle. Since the ratio of the area of two similar figures is the square of the ratio of their side lengths, we see that the ratio of the area of one of the six equilateral triangles composing the regular hexagon to the area of a unit regular triangle is just?. Thus, the total number of unit triangles is?.There are??equilateral triangles formed by lines on the edges of the hexagon. Thus, our answer is?.

(Since??yields?).So, we are looking for the number of lines which pass through either one or two of the??lattice points on the circle, but do not pass through the origin.It is clear that if a line passes through two opposite points, then it passes through the origin, and if a line passes through two non-opposite points, the it does not pass through the origin.There are??ways to pick two distinct lattice points, and thus??distinct lines which pass through two lattice points on the circle. However,??of these lines pass through the origin.
Since there is a unique tangent line to the circle at each of these lattice points, there are??distinct lines which pass through exactly one lattice point on the circle.

Thus, the area of the locus of??(shaded region below) is simply the sum of two?segments?of the circles.
