Calculating x.


a² = 1²+1²

a² = 2

a = √(2) units.


b = ⅛*180(8-2)

b = ⅛*180*6

b = 135°

b is the single interior angle of a regular octagon with side length √(2) units. Half the regular octagon is derived to inscribe the ascribed half circle.


c² = 2a²-2a²cos135

c² = 2√(2)²-2√(2)²cos135

c = 2.61312592975 units.


Let r be the radius of the ascribed half circle.


r²+r² = c²

2r² = 2.61312592975²

r = √(2.61312592975²/2)

r = 1.84775906502 units.


d²+d² = r²

2d² = 1.84775906502²

d = 1.30656296487 units.

d is the radius of the inscribed green half circle.


e = 2d

e = 2.61312592975 units.

e is the diameter of the inscribed green half circle.



It implies, x is;


e² = 1²+x²

x² = 2.61312592975²-1²

x = √(5.82842712473)

x = 2.41421356237 units.

x = (1+√(2)) units.
