Diagonal across Three Sides of Decagon is a straight line joining two non-adjacent sides which is across three sides of the Decagon.
The calculator uses the formula:
Where:
Details: This formula calculates the diagonal length across three sides of a regular decagon based on its width. The formula incorporates the mathematical constant √5 and follows geometric relationships specific to decagons.
Tips: Enter the width of the decagon in meters. The value must be a positive number greater than zero.
Q1: What is a regular decagon?
A: A regular decagon is a polygon with ten equal sides and ten equal angles.
Q2: How is width defined for a decagon?
A: Width of a decagon is the measurement from side to side at the widest point of the shape.
Q3: What are the practical applications of this calculation?
A: This calculation is useful in geometry, architecture, engineering, and design where decagonal shapes are used.
Q4: Can this formula be used for irregular decagons?
A: No, this formula applies only to regular decagons where all sides and angles are equal.
Q5: What units should be used for the input?
A: The calculator accepts meters as input, but any consistent unit of length can be used as the result will be in the same units.
