1. What is the Diagonal across Four Sides of Hexadecagon?

A hexadecagon is a polygon with 16 sides. The diagonal across four sides refers to the straight line connecting two non-adjacent vertices that span four sides of the hexadecagon.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the formula:

\[ Diagonal across Four Sides = \frac{Diagonal across Five Sides}{\sqrt{2} \times \sin\left(\frac{5\pi}{16}\right)} \]

Where:

Diagonal across Five Sides — The length of the diagonal spanning five sides of the hexadecagon (in meters)
π — Archimedes' constant (approximately 3.14159)
sin — Trigonometric sine function
√2 — Square root of 2 (approximately 1.41421)

3. Formula Explanation

Details: This formula establishes a relationship between two different diagonals of a regular hexadecagon using trigonometric functions and mathematical constants. The sine function with the specific angle (5π/16) captures the geometric properties of the 16-sided polygon.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the length of the diagonal across five sides in meters. The value must be positive and greater than zero. The calculator will compute the corresponding diagonal across four sides.
