Hexagon Template - A favour please

[Taxboy]

Given my GCE geometry was more than a few summers ago. Can anyone please provide a drawing of a hexagon that I can print out to use as a template.

I have been advised the distance between opposite sides is 150mm and the distance between opposite angles is 170m

Many thanks for this

Isn’t it a standard shape available in something like Word ?

Edit to add. A quick check says your numbers must be wrong. Your big R is 85mm, your small r is 75mm.

For a hexagon r = R x 0.866

That doesn’t quite work with your numbers. I’d just pick up the form in word. Print it out once, measure it, work out how much it needs scaling up or down, then scale it once and you’re done.

Yeah, it can be one or t'other but not both. That's Pythagoras for you.

Is that do-able on a Curta ?

Thanks for that. Hopefully it's also available in Libre Office or I have to wait until I'm in work tomorrow. The dimensions were provided to me by a salesman. I'm guessing the measurement for opposite sides may be more accurate

Why not just pick up a JPEG from the internet, lock the aspect ratio, and scale it as necessary ?

Oh yeah. Here's the square root algorithm in action.

That’s 3m56s of my life I’ll never get back ;-)

Very very cool things though...
