OK guys, here's my dilemma. I know it sounds stupid, but i can't figure it out. The really sad part is that someone here WILL KNOW THIS!!
I need to build an OCTAGON. It has 8 sides, of course. The octagon must be 10 feet from one side to the other. What i need to know is this:
1) how long should each side be?
2) what angle should the joints be?
I have a few ideas...
does 4.1422 feet sound about right, and how about 135 degrees?
I wont tell you what this is going to be until my numbers have been verified.
I can fly a plane, save a life, or rebuild an engine...but this geometry stuff is above my head!
thanks a million, guys...
