.
Solutions
Solution Diagram
First of all, draw a good diagram! This is always the key to solving any geometry problem. Once you draw it, realize that 
. Why? Because since the hexagon is equiangular, we can put an equilateral triangle around it, with side length 
. Then, if you drew it to scale, notice that the "widest" this circle can be according to 
is 
. And it will be obvious that the sides won't be inside the circle, so our answer is 
.
