Well, it seems like Simon is getting ironic...
I don't know why that's necessary.
I just wondered why the angle was 17.686... and not another one.
Just like pi = 3.1415... and no-one knows why.
Nothing mystical about, but just interesting.
Point is I DID found the only kite with the 3...
to Simon:
but it is the only one whose area is the same as the area of the circle !
That has been my statement all allong!
The question is: why is that so and why does it give that kite with angle 17.656...(or angle C 144.686...)
What's the relationship between that (those) angle(s)...
Hello Simon, thanks for the extended answer.
I think you should look at my blogsite with the drawings and calculations to see what I ment.
We're talking 2 directions.
It's not a box with edges pi*r and r but those with cos and cos/tan edges.
I think my representation of the kite is the...
Thank you HallsofIvy for answering.
But I can't believe you, sorry.
I think there's just 1 kite:
The kite which has
2 arms equal r
and 2 arms equal πr
and an area equal the area of a circle.
Other angles can't give that I think.(I tried several)
If you can give me an example of...
because the angles inside the triangle ABC must sum to 180 degrees
I understand yes.
But why 17.686 and not 15.3 or 26.88
What's the relation of 17.6...to a circle or pi or so?
Simon thanks for welcoming me!
I have never seen a circle being kited!
I added some new drawings, (logically):
"rectangling the circle"
and
"boxing the circle".
The big question is: why this angle of 17.65678715141...?
Exists in mathematics a geometric figure, with straight lines (rectangle, parallelogram, or so), allowing you to determine the circumference and area of a circle by drawing / calculating / approximating?
Without pi or formulas. So figure with no curved lines (and no polygons).
for instance...
