1. What is the Side of Truncated Square?

The Side of Truncated Square is the first particular type of line segment joining two adjacent vertices in a Truncated Square. It represents the length of the remaining sides after truncation.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the formula:

Where:

• \( S \) — Side of Truncated Square (m)
• \( l \) — Length of Truncated Square (m)
• \( l_{Missing} \) — Missing Length of Truncated Square (m)

Functions Used:

• sqrt - A square root function that takes a non-negative number as input and returns the square root of the given input number

3. Importance of Side Calculation

Details: Calculating the side length of a truncated square is important in geometry and architectural design, particularly when working with modified square shapes where corners have been removed or truncated.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the length of the truncated square and the missing length in meters. Both values must be positive numbers (length > 0, missing length ≥ 0).

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is a truncated square?
A: A truncated square is a square shape that has had its corners cut off or removed, creating a shape with both straight sides and truncated corners.

Q2: Why is the square root of 2 used in the formula?
A: The square root of 2 appears due to the 45-degree angles involved in the truncation process and the Pythagorean theorem relationships in the geometry.

Q3: Can this formula be used for any truncated square?
A: This specific formula applies to truncated squares where the truncation is symmetrical and follows the mathematical relationship described.

Q4: What are practical applications of this calculation?
A: This calculation is useful in architecture, engineering design, manufacturing, and any field dealing with modified geometric shapes.

Q5: How accurate is this calculation?
A: The calculation is mathematically precise when the input values are accurate and the truncation follows the assumed geometric pattern.
