"Angles, Lines and 7" 

① A heptagon is so cool!




1. Well, last time, we used (√3 + √7)/2 to come up with a right triangle, in which the right angle part can be expressed by the ratio "7".

Of course, if we add Φ squared and 1/Φ squared, the total is 7, so we can also have a right triangle whose right-angled part can be expressed by the ratio "7" .


............Why did people in the past want to indicate right angles with “7”?

I don't know, but I guess because "7" is a sacred number.




2.  To express a right angle by the ratio "7" is,

90 degrees is divided into 7 segments.

So one segment would be,

90° divided by 7 = 12.857142857142857...... (Hereafter ...1428574 Repeat) °

This is a sequence of numbers 142857.... which is a sequence of numbers that goes on forever, so it is Mr. Ramanujan's RJ number that I wrote before => article

"1RJ" = 90° / 7 = 12.857142857142857...... °

Then, it is indeed useful when measuring heptagonal angles.

As mentioned in the illustration at the top this blog post, one of the heptagon's angles is,

900 degrees / 7 = 900/7, so it can be shown as “10 RJ.”



Also, as shown in the illustration, the angles formed by the diagonals of a heptagon or the intersection of various lines can also be shown as "RJ".

Triangle with the ratio of angles RJ"1-6-7" (orange) and RJ"2-5-7" (yellow) can also be shown immediately.


Well, "1RJ=90/7"  is very convenient when measuring angles within a heptagon!




3.  But seeing how people in the past were so particular about “7,” I think they were probably particular about "7" or "90/7" not only for angles, but also for lines.

As the lengths of the sides of a pyramid are expressed in terms of Φ or integer ratios, I think that there are some pyramids or buildings whose lines are expressed in terms of 7 or RJ, or in other words, 90/7.



.....There are so many neat formulas for the regular heptagon that relate the “7” to the length of the lines.
(Fig.1)











So, Tanu-chan definitely thinks that people in the past tried to show the sides of a heptagon using 7 or 90/7.

.......Of course, this is just Tanu-chan's delusion!


But, if so, which side of the heptagon, or which length of the heptagon, was used as the standard?

I have been thinking about it all week of New Year's and can't figure it out, and I'm getting more and more giddy 🌀.

If I find out something else sometime, I'll write about it.


....If anyone knows anything, please let me know!





That's all for today.
