Two triangles $ACE, BDF$ are given which intersect at six points: $G, H, I, J, K, L$ as in the picture. It is known that in each of the quadrilaterals

Six cities are located at the vertices of a convex hexagon, all angles of which are equal. Three sides of this hexagon have length $a$, and the remaining three have length $b$ ($a \le b$). It is necessary to connect these cities with a network of roads so that from each city you can drive to any other (possibly through other cities). Find the shortest length of such a road network.
Let $A, B, C$ and $D$ be four different points lying on a common circle in this order. Assume that the line segment $AB$ is the (only) longest side of the inscribed quadrilateral $ABCD$. Prove that the inequality $AB + BD > AC + CD$ holds.
