## Summary

to the radius or half the diameter. This gives us the arrangement shown in Fig. 238, in which our problem is confined to the right-angled triangle whose base is seven and hypothenuse fourteen. From our knowledge of triangles, we deduct the square of seven (49) from the square of 14 (196), leaving 196-49 = 147, which is the square of the altitude. Then [sqrt]147 = 12.12, which is the narrowest board from which we can obtain a hexagon 14 inches in diameter.
