Since a=3.8333cm A=4.426314cm s=2.213157cm Title: Re: [0.02BTC] help me calculate a hexagon side/height Post by: Shaolin on May 25, 2013, 12:37:49 PM Just realised you have 2 values for a:
3.833 from the picture and 3.8333 from your text, which is the correct value to use? Edit: I just read about your pixel to cm conversion and according to this /]http://www.translatorscafe.com/cafe/units-converter/typography/calculator/pixel-(X)-to-centimeter-[cm]/ (http://www.translatorscafe.com/cafe/units-converter/typography/calculator/pixel-(X)-to-centimeter-[cm) 1cm = 37.795275591px which means your value for a should be 3.042708333cm If this is the case then it follows: A=3.51341695cm s=1.756708475cm Title: Re: [0.02BTC] help me calculate a hexagon side/height Post by: Zaih on May 25, 2013, 12:41:35 PM Just realised you have 2 values for a: 3.833 from the picture and 3.8333 from your text, which is the correct value to use? Ones just 2dp and another is 3dp. It's 3.833 repeater I'd say Title: Re: [0.02BTC] help me calculate a hexagon side/height Post by: godofal on May 25, 2013, 12:45:49 PM Just realised you have 2 values for a: 3.833 from the picture and 3.8333 from your text, which is the correct value to use? Ones just 2dp and another is 3dp. It's 3.833 repeater I'd say exactly, the value is created by 115/30 the hex is 115 pixels wide, and i have 30 pixels per cm thought it would be easier to calculate in cm than pixels, was i wrong? anyway, looks good to me so post an adress and il transfer the coins Title: Re: [0.02BTC] help me calculate a hexagon side/height Post by: Shaolin on May 25, 2013, 12:51:07 PM OK taking a=3.833cm
A=4.425967164cm s=2.212983582cm or in pixels a=115px A=132.7905679px s=66.39528096px Title: Re: [0.02BTC] help me calculate a hexagon side/height Post by: Shaolin on May 25, 2013, 12:53:09 PM Quote anyway, looks good to me so post an adress and il transfer the coins Address: 1NMMF7YzGUnZf7DeKW8tFuPvGwum9bLQxn thanks PS i worked it out in pixels as well. see above EDIT: Coins received, many thanks Title: Re: [0.02BTC] help me calculate a hexagon side/height Post by: godofal on May 25, 2013, 12:55:14 PM allright, coins away :D
