[NSRCA-discussion] Correct Geometry on N

[atwoodm at paragon-inc.com]

I gotta go with Richard on this. The length of sides of a 30/60/90 triangle are X(short side), 2X (hypotenuse), X * square root of 3 (medium side).  If we make X = 1 then the height of the hexagon  will always be 3.46  but the width will very as the side "points" are trimmed by the increasing radius.  With zero radius, the width in my example would be 4 (thus richards 1.15 ratio).  As the radius grows the width narrows. 

Does someone with Cad want to draw this up?

Its somewhat irrelevant. If the angles are correct, and there's symmetry, and equal line lengths, the actual shape will be correct regardless of "roundness"
