The radius of the inscribed circle = R . cos 20°= \a cos 20° = ~ X0.9396926 = tfX0-4698463.The area of the nonagon is 9 times the area ofthe triangle AOL = 9-^-£i?sin40o= § R2- sin… … Fig. 36. The main part of the process is to obtain theangles at the center. In Fig. 36, the radius of the inscribed circle ofthe pentagon is taken for the radius of the circum-scribed circle of the decagon, in order to keep itwithin the square. 48 GEOMETRIC EXERCISES ioo.
