It will be twice the height of one of the equilateral triangles.
Concentrate on one of these ...
Construct the height h, you now have a right-angled triangle with angles 30-60-90°
such a triangle has sides in the ratio of 1:√3:2
so setting up a proportion:
(r/2) : 1 = h : √3
h = √3 r/2
you need 2h
Write the distance y across the flat sides of a hexagonal nut as a function of r (see figure).
