Inscribing hexagon in circle
Regarding that business up above about dividing a circle into 3 equal
parts using a square, blah blah blah ... maybe I don't remember my geometry so well. Checked back in that table I mentioned in "Proven Shop Tips" for dividing a circle into n equal parts, and sure enough, the number to multiply the diameter of a circle by to divide into 6 equal parts is ... exactly 0.5. So anyone got the proof handy that a hexagon with sides of length s can be inscribed in a circle whose radius equals s? I have my old algebra and calculus books, but no geometry. -- Found--the gene that causes belief in genetic determinism |
