Regular Hexagon Circumradius Calculator — How It Works

The circumradius (R) is the radius of the circle that passes through all the key points of a shape — its circumscribed circle. The Regular Hexagon Circumradius Calculator calculates this for a regular hexagon from side length. Try the Regular Hexagon Circumradius Calculator — instant results, no sign-up.

The formula

R = side (a regular hexagon's circumradius equals its side length)

Example

For a regular hexagon with side length = 6:

R ≈ 6

A note on “circumradius” for this shape

For shapes that aren’t always cyclic (have a circle through every vertex) in their general form — like a rhombus, parallelogram, or trapezoid — this calculator applies the standard circumradius formula for the cyclic case (e.g. assuming a rectangle for parallelograms, or an isosceles trapezoid). For squares, regular polygons, semicircles, and sectors, the circumradius is well-defined for every such shape.
