### Regular polygons, exercise.

With a drawing program yesterday's pictures are easy to fake, of course. But these drawing programs don't give you the numbers.

Exercise.

Place a decagon edge-to-edge on a square with sides of length 1 ( see figure ). What is the distance between the two marked points?

( Answer: $\frac{1}{4} \left(3 \sqrt{10-2 \sqrt{5}}+\sqrt{50-10 \sqrt{5}}+4\right)$ )

Its seven episodes were broadcast by ARD beginning September 17, 1966. The series has since acquired cult status in Germany. Broadcast six years before Star Trek first aired in West Germany (in 1972), it became a huge success.)
