The formula calculates the circumradius of a regular hendecagon (11-sided polygon) when its inradius is known. The circumradius is the radius of the circle that passes through all vertices of the hendecagon.
The calculator uses the formula:
Where:
Explanation: This formula derives from the geometric properties of regular polygons, specifically the relationship between the circumradius and inradius of a regular hendecagon.
Details: Calculating the circumradius is essential in geometry, architecture, and engineering for designing and analyzing regular hendecagonal structures and patterns.
Tips: Enter the inradius value in meters. The value must be positive and greater than zero for accurate calculation.
Q1: What is a regular hendecagon?
A: A regular hendecagon is an 11-sided polygon with all sides equal and all interior angles equal (approximately 147.27 degrees each).
Q2: What's the difference between circumradius and inradius?
A: The circumradius is the radius of the circle passing through all vertices, while the inradius is the radius of the circle inscribed within the polygon.
Q3: Can this formula be used for other polygons?
A: No, this specific formula applies only to regular hendecagons. Other regular polygons have different trigonometric relationships.
Q4: What are practical applications of this calculation?
A: This calculation is used in architectural design, mechanical engineering, and geometric pattern creation involving 11-sided figures.
Q5: How accurate is the calculation?
A: The calculation is mathematically precise, using the exact trigonometric relationships for a regular hendecagon.
