so my friend and I are having an argument over the side length of a normal hexagon with diameter of 10 inches. I used equilateral triangles formed inside the hexagon to get the side length of 5 inches(law of cosine also resulted in 5 inches). Friend argued saying that if you use the law of sine you would get 5.77 inches. Who's right? and why does this happen?

you are using the point-to-point distance as the diameter
he is using the edge-to-edge distance

Oh my fucking god you're both so fucking gay. Stop wasting your life arguing with a friend about math.

Friend is interpreting "diameter" as indiameter while you're using the circumdiameter. Circumdiameter would probably be the default assumption. Also both of you are losers.
