Triangles with sides of 1,2,3,4,5, and sqrt(5) and 2* sqrt(5)?

Golden ratio?

Hmm, an interesting puzzle Pilou! Needs some clever rounding of dimensions to achieve these results. ;-}

For example, I drew the square sides to length 2.24*2 and did not achieve the even 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 sides of the triangles. Then I drew the square with sides 2.238*2, and at least with 1.00 display rounding was able to achieve the same image.

Hi Larry,

You're right, but 2.24 is not the real size because it's sqareroot of 5.
Squareroot of 5 is 2.2360679775...

But Moi can help you...
If you give the exact value to Moi (2 times squareroot of five), the job is done...
Give the size as 2*sqrt(5) and MoI will understand it !

The documentation explains it :
Any of the functions on the JavaScript "Math" object are available for use, including: sin(), cos(), tan(), sqrt(), pow(), round(), random(), the constant PI, 
and also rad() which takes a parameter in degrees and returns it in radians, and deg() which takes a parameter in radians and returns it in degrees.


Even if you show 7 decimal places, it gives you the right distance.

Thanks to Magic Michael !

Thanks Phiro!

I didn't recognize the 2.24 as the square root of 5...such an error deserves the scorn of Pythagoras given the context! Now I can better appreciate Pilou's curiosity! :-)

Of course i had only 2 decimal points for a more clear presentation! ;)

And it's more easy to remind round square root of 5 for speed estimation like 2.4
than 2,2360679774997896964091736687313... :)

I had to Google search Burrman's numbers. :-)

“”””” had to Google search””””

Forgive me for wasting your time B.

At least i left out the long story and math calcs we used to provide to get to the answer!!!

I particularly enjoyed the story of a person ordering a 710 cap at the auto parts store!
