The Non Square Side of Half Square Kite is the length of the pair of edges of Half Square Kite which is not the edge of the Square from which the Half Square Kite is formed.
The calculator uses the formula:
Where:
Explanation: This formula calculates the length of the non-square side by subtracting the square side from half of the total perimeter.
Details: Calculating the non-square side is essential for understanding the geometric properties of half square kites and for various applications in geometry and design.
Tips: Enter the perimeter and square side values in meters. Both values must be positive numbers greater than zero.
Q1: What is a Half Square Kite?
A: A Half Square Kite is a geometric shape formed by taking a square and stretching or compressing one of its corners.
Q2: Why is the formula P/2 - S used?
A: The formula derives from the perimeter definition of a half square kite, where the total perimeter consists of two square sides and two non-square sides.
Q3: Can this calculator handle decimal inputs?
A: Yes, the calculator accepts decimal values for both perimeter and square side measurements.
Q4: What units should I use?
A: The calculator uses meters as the default unit, but you can use any consistent unit of length as long as both inputs use the same unit.
Q5: Are there any limitations to this calculation?
A: This calculation assumes a perfect half square kite geometry and may not apply to irregular or distorted shapes.
