I computed area using LAEA projections centered at each hexagon using the same random sampling technique as @billyauhk and discarding pentagons. Below are my results where n=100,000. Resolution | Min...
@sahrk are you contending that spherical polygons are 33% larger in area at say resolution 15?
@sahrk It would be surprising to me if the spherical area is 33% larger than the planar area at both ~1 sq. m resolution and at ~4.25E12 sq. m resolution....
Isn't the edge and circumradius the same thing for a regular hexagon? Or are you saying it's the inradius?
@KeithFolkerts I did a quick calculation and found the 33.3% discrepancy could be explained if those values are in fact the inradius. Thanks for the insight!
