Explanation Formula used: The side length ( a ) of the regular hexagon whose distance across the corners ( d ) given is, d = 2 a or a = 0.5 d . The side length ( a ) of the regular hexagon whose distance across the flats ( f ) is given by, f ≈ 1.732 a or a ≈ 0.577 f . Calculation: In the given regular hexagon, distance across the corners is 32 inches. That is, d = 32 in . . Substitute d = 32 in . in the above formula a = 0.5 d and obtain the side length of the regular hexagon as follows. a = 0.5 d = 0.5 × 32 in = 16 in Hence, side length of the regular hexagon is 16 in
