I see where Ray is getting his 41.5 square foot floor area figure. He is mistakenly believing that a standard hexayurt is using 4x4 walls instead of 4x8 or 8x8 or 6x8 as introduced by Vinay, and in which the 8-foot length is the width of each wall of the hexagon.
So we're ALL right. Ray is just building a much smaller model of hexayurt that the rest of us. -- ken winston caine ----- Original Message ----- From: Ray Kornele To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, June 17, 2011 12:15 PM Subject: Re: [hexayurt] Legal Status for Hexayurt Constructions ? - Construction Permit Required ? The floor is six equilateral triangles, 4x? One equilateral triangle is 4*(4*sin(60))/2 = 6.92820323 six such triangles are ANS*6 = 41.56921938 KrazyKyngeKorny (Krazy, not stupid) On Fri, Jun 17, 2011 at 11:02 AM, ken winston caine <[email protected]> wrote: How can that be? Please work out the math for us in a message so we can see it. If you just had an 8-footx8-foot floor area you would have 64 square feet. And with the hexagon made up of SIX (not five) 8-foot walls, you have substantially more than an 8-footx8-foot floor area. Am sure I must have missed an earlier message in this thread, but the square-footage number leaped out at me in this message. For year's I've accepted Vinay's calculation that the traditional hexayurt provides 166 square feet of floor area. I'm pretty sure he's calculated that correctly. But I'm not a math whiz and need to see how you are working out these numbers, if you don't mind.

If you do the math you may find that is not the case. It actually figures out to 41.56928 square feet for the one made of 5 sheets of plywood. Where the 166 figure came from, but it's WAY off.
