Laudate_Dominum Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 Yikes! I'm guessing from the Greek that it is a 99 sided shape? Are you missing a 'kai' between the 'conta' and the 'enneagon'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Bone _ Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 Some use the kai, others don't. I am of the latter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laudate_Dominum Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 I call hekatommyrikaidecemyrikaichiliheptaconta aienneagon! For some reason the board is removing a 'k' and adding a line break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I pulled it out of left field but I guess it would be 1,101,069. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moosey Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 Really, from far away wouldn't this shape resemble a circle? Or would you find a different way to arrange the sides? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The formula to find the area of such a figure approximates the distance from the center point to an outer corner multiplied by 3.14. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
