Good Evening Friends,
We are going to build a gazebo with 6 sides and the inscribed diameter is 12'.
What would be the length of the sides and what would be the degree of angle on the band boards?
Respectfully, :)

Ralph, is this not the same as your quiz of the 25th of May?
See http://www.woodworkforums.ubeaut.com...ead.php?t=8987 for the answer. :D

That was a circumcised diameter, Peter.Quote:

In anycase it does not matter to me whether it is inscribed or circumcised as long as the knife is not near me. :D

Side 6' 11 1/8"
Angle 60°
Good Evening Friends,
Here is a little secret. When dealing with polygons with a 12' diameter whether it is a circumscribed or inscribed diameter the inches by each figure of the sides become feet.
So for todays quiz the correct answer is 6' 9 5/16" for each side of the gazebo.
If those of you who missed the information of the octagon scales or polygon scales would go back a few threads you will find them and print them out for future use. should you not find them just email me and I will attach them to your email reply. Guaranteed virus free.
Thank you all for your support.
Respectfully, :)
Hi Ralph,
Here is another little secret....
Not trying to be too smart about this but it is the second time you have converted a decimalised imperial measurement into feet and inches incorrectly....
As per your previously attached table, the answer is 6.9262 feet.
This DOES NOT = 6 feet + 9 inches + 0.0262 inches ( i.e 6' 9 5/16" as stated by yourself)
It equals 6 feet + 0.9262 feet
multiply 0.9262 x 12" = 11.1144"
This therefore equals 6 feet + 11.1144 inches. (i.e 6 11 1/8" as stated by me)
