When opened and lying flat, a birthday card is in the shape of a regular hexagon. The card must be folded in half along 1 of its diagonals before being placed in an envelope for mailing. Assuming that the thickness of the folded card will not be an issue, will the birthday card fit inside a rectangular envelope that is 4 inches by 9 inches?

(1) Each side of the regular hexagon is 4 inches long.
(2) The area of the top surface (which is the same as the area of the bottom surface) of the folded birthday card is less than 36 square inches.
