Regular polygons and circles

Weekly Problem 53 - 2012
ABCDEFGHI is a regular nine-sided polygon (called a 'nonagon' or 'enneagon'). What is the size of the angle FAE ?

Weekly Problem 50 - 2012
The diagram shows a regular dodecagon. What is the size of the marked angle?

Which is a better fit, a square peg in a round hole or a round peg in a square hole?

Find the area of the annulus in terms of the length of the chord which is tangent to the inner circle.

Weekly Problem 52 - 2012
An irregular hexagon can be made by cutting the corners off an equilateral triangle. How can an identical hexagon be made by cutting the corners off a different equilateral triangle?

In LOGO circles can be described in terms of polygons with an infinite (in this case large number) of sides - investigate this definition further.

Recreating the designs in this challenge requires you to break a problem down into manageable chunks and use the relationships between triangles and hexagons. An exercise in detail and elegance.

Thinking of circles as polygons with an infinite number of sides - but how does this help us with our understanding of the circumference of circle as pi x d? This challenge investigates this relationship.

Can you reproduce the design comprising a series of concentric circles? Test your understanding of the realtionship betwwn the circumference and diameter of a circle.
