Hi Don.

My lunch is ending and I didn't quite finish my diagram, but i found a much more elegant diagram that says teh same thing.

You're dealing with a unit circle. There are several basic trigonometric functions you should be aware if in dealing with it.

First off, I'd remark all units as X, 2X, etc., and don't worry about the decimal.
Use a sqrt symbol followed by a 5 if you need to in images -- it'll be much clearer with less detail, believe it or not.

in the meantime, if you want to play with circular maths, consult the unit circle formulas here:
[en.wikipedia.org]

And see here for a very elegant diagrammatic expression of all of them:
[en.wikipedia.org]

Given that you should be able to express all lengths in your diagram in terms of the unit measurement X and all angles as trig functions based on those lengths.


The math checks out. And it is *all* based on proportions. I'll gladly admit you've established 'proximate potential' for the use of porportions in Egyptian architecture. You have yet to prove anything beyond that though, right?

I believe most of the AE folks here would agree... AE's used porportions when building things. The golden ratio? Maybe incidentally, here and there, but not everywhere, right?
