Hexagon and Hexagram?!

 

Besides a pentagon and pentagram I have found two more geometric forms: a hexagon and -following from the hexagon- a hexagram.

It is formed by these crop formations: 

 

22-Nielles, 9-Torigni sur Vire, 17-Lidon, 25-Pouilloux, 29-Sundhoffen and a -fictive and constructed- 6th corner.

In contrast to what is known about mathematical relationships in pentagrams, there is less published about hexagrams.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I have drawn an "perfect" hexagon and hexagram to show the length of line segments and their relationships.

In this case:

 

R (radius) = 4

A (side)     = 4

B0             = 6,9 (=B1 + B2 + B3)

B1 = B2 = B3 = 2,3

C = 2,3

A = R = 4 

 

R/C = 4/2,3 = 1,73913

C/R = 2,3/4 = 0,575

The length of the radius of the circumscribed circle is equal to the lenght of a side.

C is a line segment running from the center to a corner of the inner hexagon.

Can we find this mathematical relationships in the hexagon / hexagram I created?

 

Hexagram / Hexagon Nielles:

Because the distances between the six corners are not -again, as with the pentagon- the same it is not a "perfect" hexagon.

R = A = D = 290 (this is the mean value of the distances 297, 295, 286 and 282 km)

B0 = 498,6666... (mean)

B1 = B2 = B3 = mean value 166,2222....

C = 166,222... (mean value of six distances)

 

R/C = 290 / 166 = 1,74465

The difference with a perfect hexagram/gon with all equal sides is 0,00552 (5,52 promille)

C/R = 166,222 / 290 = 0,57318

Difference 0,00182 (1,82 promille)

 

Conclusion: the found values in the constructed hexagram/hexagon come VERY close to the values in a "perfect" hexagon/ hexagram.
