Calculating r, radius of the inscribed circle.

a = ½(108)

a = 54°

a is half the single interior angle of the regular pentagon.


tan54 = r/b

b = r/tan54

b = 0.726542528r units.

r is the radius of the inscribed circle.


c = 6-b

c = (6-0.726542528r) units.


It implies;


tan(0.5*54) = r/c

tan27 = r/(6-0.726542528r)

r = 6tan27-0.726542528tan(27)r

r = 3.057152697-0.3701919082r

r+0.3701919082r = 3.057152697

1.3701919082r = 3.057152697

r = 3.057152697/1.3701919082

r = 2.2311857768 units.
