Is there a free online calculator for regular hexagon area based on side length input?
Can this area calculation method be applied to hexagonal tiles or paving stones?
What is the area of a hexagon with side 1?
The answer is 3√3/2, that is, approximately, 2.598. To arrive at this result, you can use the formula that links the area and side of a regular hexagon. It reads area = 3√3/2 × side², so we immediately obtain the answer by plugging in side = 1.
Hey guys, so I have a world map made of hexagonal tiles, without any sort of coordinate system. You can move the player from the starting hexagon at (0,0) (the base) to other hexagons to go to different levels. I want the travelling from the base to the other levels cost resources, and I want the resource price to be based on the distance from the base (like on the picture!).
Can I return these resource costs as on the picture based purely on the position of the player character? For instance if the player is standing on the tile directly to the left of the base, the player's coordinates are (120,0), and the distance to (0,0) is of course 120. How can I turn this into the costs on the picture?
Thank you in advance :)
EDIT: Okay thank you very much everyone who answered, I learned a lot about hexagons. I ended up simply checking if the position of the player is within a circle with the radius of 120. If it wasn't, I increased the radius by 120 and checked if the player is in this bigger circle, etc...
I'm about to tile about 150 square feet in one bathroom and about 35 in another, both using hexagonal tile. I'm having a really hard time finding a calculator that will tell me how much grout I need! Anyone have a handy link or method I can use?
Thanks!!
