Reducing the over all size of a irregular pentagon |
2007-04-11 |
 |
From Gilbert: I'm having trouble figuring out how to reduce the over all size of a irregular pentagon.
The pentagon I'm trying to reduce has 2 right angles adjacent to each other.
Basically the shape of a house. I have width, length of the legs and the height of the peak.
But cannot figure out how to get the size of a reduced version that keeps the same proportion
and angles.
Thanks
