Geometry Question re: Hexagons

[Malintent]

... I need to calculate how wide a board I need to construct the hexagon ...

Are you talking about a standard 5 sided hexagon or one that actually has 6 sides?

take a 3-legged dog and feed it 1 square meal. Then take it's poop and use it to fertilize a 5-sided pentagonal hexagon. It will eventually grow another leg, which you can either use to make an actual hexagon, or just give it to the dog to use.

I thought everyone knew this...
