But what if we know "c" and want to find out "n" based on specific "r=1".

It might be simple math, but I have not had any relationship with math for 20 years now but this question puzzles me for a reason.

Alexander pose la question :
Have you ever solved a problem, in which you have a rectangle, from which you need to cut the largest two circles of equivalent diameter? I bisected a rectangle diagonally, but the circles, while tangent to two of the sides, are not tangent to eachother. Can you devise a method for two equivalent circles, that are tangent to two sides, are also to eachother?

Take for example a piece of paper, Each if the two largest circles has a diameter that is greater than the distance to the midpoint of the diagonal bisector of the rectangle.

A regular hexagon is inscribed in a circle. 2004-12-08
Abraham pose la question :
A regular hexagon is inscribed in a circle. What is the ratio of the length of a side of the hexagon to the minor arc that it intercepts?
(1) pi/6
(2) 3/6
(3) 3/pi (This is the correct answer.)
(4) 6/pi
I found the length of the minor arc to be (pi)(r)/3 by doing a sixth of the circumference(2pi r).But I can't find the length of the radius to finish off the problem. If I knew the radius I would then plug it into the above and then use the radius again to be the length of the side because the triangle(one of the six of a hexagon) is equilateral. But can you show me how to get the radius to be 3? Thank you so much.

A polygon inscribed within an ellipse - Part 2 2002-07-08
Steven pose la question :
I recently sought your advice about a problem that I have been working on for eight years or so concerning a polygon inscribed within an ellipse. I think that I may have confused matters by the way in which I put the question and hope that the enclosed diagram will clear matters up. In the ellipse below I have drawn three chords inscribed within one quadrant ( this would pertain to a twelve sided figure within the whole ellipse). These chords are exactly the same length as each other, for example if the major axis of the ellipse was 360 and the minor axis 240 I have worked out that a twelve sided figure would have sides of 78.2487. However I worked this out empirically with a method that could only be described as gruelling I would be most grateful if you could tell me of a method that would work for any ellipse and any number of sides.

An equalateral polygon inscribed within an ellipse 2002-06-30
Steven pose la question :
How would you calculate the length of one of the sides of an equalateral polygon (of n sides) inscribed within an ellipse ( of any eccentricity ) where all of the vertices exactly touch the perimeter of the ellipse?

I know that when the eccentricity is zero ( i.e a circle ) the formula: r * (sin(180/n) * 2) will suffice. But what about when the eccentricity is greater than zero?

Two Inscribed Trapezoids 1998-01-27
James pose la question :
A hexagon inscribed in a circle has three consecutive sides each of length 3 and three consecutive sides each of length 5. The chord of the circle that divides the hexagon into two trapezoids, one with three sides each of length 3 and the other with three sides each of length 5, has length equal to m/n, where m and n are relatively prime positive integers. Find m+n.
