🛠How to Use This Table
- Find the side length → Choose the side length of your hexagon.
- Read the corresponding diagonals:
- Longest Diagonal (D) = The longest distance across the hexagon.
- Short Diagonal (d) = The shorter distance across opposite vertices.
- Use these values in engineering, tiling, and layout planning.
📌 How are Hexagon Diagonals Calculated?
The formulas used:
- Longest Diagonal (D) (Across opposite vertices): D=2×Side LengthD = 2 \times \text{Side Length}D=2×Side Length
- Short Diagonal (d) (Between two non-adjacent vertices): d=3×Side Lengthd = \sqrt{3} \times \text{Side Length}d=3​×Side Length
Where:
- Side Length = The length of one side of the hexagon.
- 3\sqrt{3}3​ (approx. 1.732) is used for the short diagonal calculation.
✅ Key Takeaways
- Larger side lengths result in larger diagonals.
- Hexagons are widely used in CNC machining, nuts, bolts, and design elements.
- Essential for sheet metal cutting, fabrication, and construction layouts.
- Hexagonal structures are efficient for space utilization and strength.
