Oh, thanks! That's really helpful! -
Charles Link replied to the thread I Geometry problem of interest with a 3-4-5 triangle.@Gavran It helps to go back to the diagrams of post 23 to see this, (for the 3-4-5 case), because the results are not displayed nearly...

Both octagrams in the post #28 are irregular octagrams and the first one has an irregular octagon in the centre while the second one has...

Charles Link replied to the thread I Geometry problem of interest with a 3-4-5 triangle.Unless someone can come up with a better procedure, I think it is ok to measure the spacing of 1,root 2, and 1 to generate the regular...

I was looking at how to make a regular octagon in the spirit of the OP but it’s difficult to construct the ratio you mentioned without...

Charles Link replied to the thread I Geometry problem of interest with a 3-4-5 triangle.@Gavran On the video of post 28, they missed the boat I think when they tried to do the regular octagon. I sketched it myself at...

Charles Link replied to the thread I Geometry problem of interest with a 3-4-5 triangle.as mentioned in the OP, ## \tan(\theta-\phi)=\frac{\tan(\theta)-\tan(\phi)}{1+\tan(\theta) \tan(\phi)} ## makes it very easy to compute...

The polygon is an isotoxal octagram. The source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octagram. There is an interesting video which shows a...

Charles Link replied to the thread B Venus and Jupiter Conjunction.I saw the two "stars" out my window in the morning about two weeks ago when they were somewhat further apart. I guessed it might be...

Today at about 4:30 am I saw the conjunction of Venus and Jupiter, where they were about the width of the full moon, or one half degree...

Charles Link replied to the thread I Geometry problem of interest with a 3-4-5 triangle.From symmetry, it is readily seen that the sides come in 4 identical pairs. The angle between the two sides in each pair is not 135...

The edges are the same lengths but parallel edges are skewed wrt each other, they are parallelograms not rectangles.

Of course, those angles are in degrees and are rounded to the nearest degree.

Oh I see. The diagram is perfectly four-fold symmetrical - but it is not eight-fold symmetrical. And the 37/53 is reflected in the two...
