Default I Need a math guru

I am trying to develop a formula so that Excel can calculate the range for a
wargame. The game is called Battletech if you know what it is. It is
played on a map that has a hex grid measuring ~3/4" a side. The hexes are
numbered (4 digit 01 - 15 accross and 01 - 17 up top left is numbered 1001
bottom right 1517 The map is 15x17 ) so I am able to give Excel the position
of each unit on the map. and calculate 2 legs of a triangle, but it is not
always a right triangle (I struggled with it for 3 days before I realized wy
a^2+b^2=c^2 wasn't working.... It has been almost 20 years since I took a
geometry class.....

Thanks in advance for any help I can get.

Adam
