If all the sides are equal then all the diagonals are equal too. So if you measure from corner to corner across the middle, when the thing is up properly then it should not matter which corner to corner you measure they  should all be equal.  Also every angle should be equal (60 degrees). I have an adjustable T square which I used to make my Gazebos, which are also hexagonal. The square cost £! from Aldi.
