	I don't follow. The figure is perfectly symmetical. How can the central octagon not have eight 135 degree inner angles? Sunuvagun. So... - 
		
	
 
		
		
		Charles Link replied to the thread I Geometry problem of interest with a 3-4-5 triangle.It surprised me at first when I computed the angles between two of the lines. I thought I would get the result that the tangent of the... - 
		
	
 
		
		
		Charles Link replied to the thread I Geometry problem of interest with a 3-4-5 triangle.For the octagon in the center, all sides are the same length, but the angles alternate as mentioned previously, (post 4), so it is... - 
		
	
 
		
		
		Charles Link replied to the thread I Geometry problem of interest with a 3-4-5 triangle.Thank you @DaveC426913 <3 for the above diagram (post 18). The video on this is very incomplete, claiming that the triangles are of... -

	That looks like an origami 'diamond' base. Almost; not quite. -

	I couldn't see the video either, but following your early posts, especially Posts 2 & 4, I was able understand how this procedure... - 
		
	
 
		
		
		Charles Link replied to the thread I Geometry problem of interest with a 3-4-5 triangle.@DaveC426913 Start with a square and draw lines from all four corners to the midpoints of the two other sides of the square. I don't... - 
		
	
 
		
		
		Charles Link replied to the thread I Geometry problem of interest with a 3-4-5 triangle.The video just shows only one, but if you draw all of the lines connecting the four corners to the midpoints of the other sides, you... - 
		
	
 
		
		
		Charles Link replied to the thread I Geometry problem of interest with a 3-4-5 triangle.It may be stating the obvious, (for the inscribed circle of the triangle of post 10), but with the base of 14, where the center of the... -

	Have you tried a 13,14,15 sided triangle? You can guess the radius. - 
		
	
 
		
		
		Charles Link replied to the thread I Geometry problem of interest with a 3-4-5 triangle.Very clever. I see for that one you have a base of 14, that can be split into 5 and 9, so that the height of the triangle is 12...
