Hexagon Corner-to-Corner Calculator
Enter the side length of the hexagon:
Here are the key details and how to compute the corner-to-corner measurement:
Basic Geometry of a Hexagon
- Sides: A hexagon is a polygon with six equal sides.
- Regular Hexagon: All interior angles are 120 degrees, and all sides are of equal length.
Measurements in a Hexagon
- Side Length (sss): The length of one side of the hexagon.
- Corner-to-Corner Distance: This is the distance between two opposite corners. In a regular hexagon, this distance is twice the side length because it aligns with the diameter of the circumscribed circle around the hexagon.
Table for Corner-to-Corner Measurement
To create a table of corner-to-corner measurements, you’d typically list side lengths and calculate the corresponding corner-to-corner distances, which are simply 2×s2 \times s2×s.
Here’s an example table:
Side Length (s) | Corner-to-Corner Distance (2s) |
---|---|
1 | 2 |
2 | 4 |
3 | 6 |
4 | 8 |
5 | 10 |
10 | 20 |
