The Circumradius of a Nonagon is the radius of a circumcircle touching each of the vertices of the Nonagon. This calculator determines the circumradius based on the height and inradius of the nonagon.
The calculator uses the formula:
Where:
Explanation: The formula calculates the circumradius by subtracting the inradius from the height of the nonagon.
Details: Calculating the circumradius is important in geometry for determining the size and properties of polygons, particularly in construction, design, and various engineering applications.
Tips: Enter the height and inradius of the nonagon in meters. Both values must be positive numbers.
Q1: What is a nonagon?
A: A nonagon is a nine-sided polygon with nine angles and nine vertices.
Q2: What is the difference between circumradius and inradius?
A: The circumradius is the radius of the circle that passes through all vertices of the polygon, while the inradius is the radius of the circle inscribed inside the polygon.
Q3: Can this formula be used for other polygons?
A: No, this specific formula \( rc = h - ri \) is derived for nonagons and may not apply to other polygons.
Q4: What are typical applications of circumradius calculations?
A: Circumradius calculations are used in architecture, engineering design, computer graphics, and various geometric analyses.
Q5: How accurate is this calculation?
A: The accuracy depends on the precision of the input values. The calculator provides results with up to 4 decimal places.
