Question 966163: Hi
If the diameter of a circle that fits inside a polygon is D and the length of 1 side of the polygon is L
how many sides S does the polygon have.?
I'm going to make a dovecote style birdbox.
I have boards that are 125mm(L) wide and I want the diameter of the box to be 350mm (D) how many sides will it need?
Thank you Richard

==================================
Do the 125 mm pieces go outside the circle and tangent to it?
