Regular polygons with odd numbers
Regular polygons with odd numbers.
Looking at the diagonals of regular polygons, in this case odd number regular polygons.
Today I'm looking at the 3 smaller regular polygons that can be constructed radiating from the centre, that can be encased with another bigger regular polygon .Diagonal lines and circles are used to find defining points.

Construction of geometric drawings
There are many ways of constructing/drawing geometric pictures.
This one is based on a repetition of a image . This image is then pasted in some particular points , in this case on the defining points of a regular polygon.
A lot of this images have been constructed before and are sometimes called polygon dissections. It is quite common in geometric drawing to reach to the same image using different ways of thinking.

Mapping of regular polygons: octagon
√2+1 lines, one being the side of the regular octagon. |

√ 2 |
a2 + b2 = c2. (√ 2+1)2 +(1)2 = c2 |
Lines of one |
a2 + b2 = c2. (√2/2)2 + (√2/2+1)2 =c2 |

Mapping of regular polygons
Mapping regular polygons(from my point of view) is mainly about measuring lines and segments of diagonal lines of regular polygons. It is also about looking for patterns occurring in regular polygons. In an octagon we can easily find ratios of square root 2, finding ratios and patterns in other polygons is much more difficult.
