Understand the scale

Scale 0.5: Easiest math competition problems, often solvable even for early middle school students without experience. 1: Problems strictly for beginners, often at a moderate middle school level. 1.5: Problems for stronger beginner students, on the level of the middling problems in most middle school contests. 2: For motivated beginners, harder questions from the previous categories. 2.5: More advanced beginner problems, hardest questions from previous categories. 3: Early intermediate problems that require more creative thinking. 3.5: Tougher early intermediate problems that consistently stretch into higher-level creative thinking or conceptual knowledge. 4: Intermediate-level problems. 4.5: Upper intermediate problems approaching the upper bound for non-invitational sprint math competitions. 5: More difficult AIME problems or simple proof-based Olympiad-style problems. 6: High-level AIME-styled questions or introductory Olympiad-level questions. 7: Tougher Olympiad-level questions, may require more technical knowledge. 8: High-level Olympiad-level questions. 9: Expert Olympiad-level questions. 9.5: The hardest problems appearing on Olympiads which the strongest students could reasonably solve. 10: Historically notorious problems, generally unsuitable for even very hard competitions because they are exceedingly tedious, long, and difficult.

Problem

Problem:

Regular hexagon $P_{1} P_{2} P_{3} P_{4} P_{5} P_{6}$ has side length $2$ . For $1 \leq i \leq 6$ , let $C_{i}$ be a unit circle centered at $P_{i}$ and $\ell_{i}$ be one of the internal common tangents of $C_{i}$ and $C_{i+2}$ , where $C_{7}=C_{1}$ and $C_{8}=C_{2}$ . Assume that the lines $\{\ell_{1}, \ell_{2}, \ell_{3}, \ell_{4}, \ell_{5}, \ell_{6}\}$ bound a regular hexagon. The area of this hexagon can be expressed as $\sqrt{\frac{a}{b}}$ , where $a$ and $b$ are relatively prime positive integers. Compute $100a+b$ .
