I have a ridgid bolt die which takes 1.5 diameter inch round dies. I am trying to calculate the size of a hex die which would fit into the 1.5" diameter hole. I can find formulas to calculate the size of exscribed hex and the area of the inscribed hex.
For some reason my math fails and I can not figure out how to calculate this simple problem. Of course it is a regular hexagon and all six wedges are equal. I am not sure if all three sides of each wedge are equal or is the ouside edge different?
