Thirty hexes.*

David Michael Grouchy II










The math part

=================================================

Optically figures appear their size divided by the distance.

apparent Size = size / z

a hex that is 1.333 m to a side

to optically contain an area 40 m to a side...

40 / hex size = z

40 / 1.333 = z

40 / 1.333 = 30;

z = 30;

40 / 30 = 1.333
