Hexagons and Squares - Diagonal Lengths
Distances between corners for hexagons and squares.
Hexagon
The distance between the corners in a hexagon as indicated in the figure can be expressed as
Dh = (2 / 3) 31/2 d
= 1.154701 d (1)
Square
The distance between corners - length of diagonal - in a square can be expressed as
Ds = 21/2 d
= 1.4142 d (2)
Example - Distance between Corners in a Hexagon
The distance between corners in a hexagon where d = 0.4 m can be calculated as
Dh = 1.154701 0.4
= 0.462 m
