The formula calculates the side length of a regular hendecagon (11-sided polygon) when the total perimeter is known. For a regular hendecagon, all sides are equal in length.
The calculator uses the formula:
Where:
Explanation: Since a regular hendecagon has 11 equal sides, the side length is simply the total perimeter divided by 11.
Details: Calculating side length from perimeter is essential in geometry, architecture, and engineering applications involving regular hendecagons. It helps in material estimation, construction planning, and geometric analysis.
Tips: Enter the total perimeter of the hendecagon in meters. The value must be positive and greater than zero. The calculator will compute the individual side length.
Q1: What is a hendecagon?
A: A hendecagon is an 11-sided polygon. When all sides and angles are equal, it's called a regular hendecagon.
Q2: Does this formula work for irregular hendecagons?
A: No, this formula only applies to regular hendecagons where all sides are equal in length.
Q3: What units should I use for perimeter?
A: The calculator accepts meters, but you can use any consistent unit as the result will be in the same unit.
Q4: Can I calculate perimeter if I know the side length?
A: Yes, the reverse calculation is simply P = 11 × S, where S is the side length.
Q5: What are practical applications of hendecagons?
A: Hendecagons are used in architecture, design, coin minting (some coins have 11 sides), and various geometric constructions.
