A regular hexagon can be divided into 6 equilateral triangles. The distance from one vertex to the opposite vertex is 2 times the side length. The distance from one side to the opposite side is √3 times the side length.
If you remember that all of your angles are at either 0 or 60 degrees, then your vertices (for side length 1, with the lower left corner at the origin) are:
