Question: How large does a hexagon need to be in order to fit a 15" circle inside of it? What I need to figure out is the exact length of each of the 6 sides.
Here is the situation: I'm trying to order a custom dust cover and Cloud 10 platform from Gingko Audio to fit my Shanling T300, which has a more or less (but not perfectly) round shape. The T300 measures anywhere from 13" to 13.5" across, so a 15" inner measurement of the hexagon-shaped dust cover will provide enough clearance on all sides. Unfortunately, they can't make a circle shaped cover.
Here's what the square cover looks like for the T200 to give you an idea of what I'm talking about.
I've tried to figure it out by sitting on the floor and forming various sized circles with an extra pair of speaker cables I have lying around, but I'm sure it's a simple math question for anyone who finished high school less than 25 years ago!
