Question from floyd: I want to build an octagon 4 feet from base of tree from 4x4's. What length do I cut my pieces |
Hi Floyd,
Look at the diagram in my response to a similar question. I think you are describing a similar situation. The key here is that $s = \large \frac{d}{1 + \sqrt{2}}.$
Please write back if I have misinterpreted your question,
Penny
