1. What is Width of Hexagon?

The Width of Hexagon is the horizontal distance from the left most vertex to the right most vertex of the Hexagon. It represents the maximum horizontal span of a regular hexagon.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the formula:

Where:

• \( w \) — Width of Hexagon (m)
• \( d_{Long} \) — Long Diagonal of Hexagon (m)

Explanation: For a regular hexagon, the width is equal to the long diagonal, making the calculation straightforward.

3. Formula Explanation

Details: In a regular hexagon, the long diagonal spans from one vertex to the opposite vertex, and the width is measured horizontally from the leftmost to the rightmost point. For a regular hexagon, these two measurements are equal.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the long diagonal measurement in meters. The value must be positive and valid. The calculator will compute the corresponding width of the hexagon.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Is this formula specific to regular hexagons?
A: Yes, this formula applies specifically to regular hexagons where all sides and angles are equal.

Q2: What units should I use for input?
A: The calculator accepts meters, but you can use any consistent unit of length as the relationship is proportional.

Q3: How accurate is this calculation?
A: The calculation is mathematically exact for regular hexagons, as width equals long diagonal by definition.

Q4: Can I use this for irregular hexagons?
A: No, this formula only works for regular hexagons. Irregular hexagons require different calculation methods.

Q5: What's the relationship between width and side length?
A: For a regular hexagon, width = 2 × side length, while long diagonal = 2 × side length, making width equal to long diagonal.
