❔ Create hexagon polygons from point-list
Hey, everybody. Help me with geometry please, I have a list of coordinates (points), I need to convert them into proper hexagons-polygons with 400 meters long sides.
How do I do it?)

There is a regular hexagon and the coordinates (latitude and longitude) of point A.
The length of the side DE is 400 meters.
How to find the coordinates (latitude and longitude) of the points BCDEFG
This is more of a math problem than a programming problem
A + 400 on the y axis gives you C
A-400 on the y axis gives you F
E.g., D is 400 points away from A on the X axis
All you have to do is calculate how many points you have to move up on the Y axis
You can do that using the pythogaras theorem
Or actually no, you just move it up on Y by half the 400, which is 200
Should be enough
Unless you introduce rotation
