<p>[QUOTE="cpm9ball, post: 911225, member: 24633"]I think you are correct in your assumption that the measurement would be from the farthest points. I remember from my first year of mechanical drawing (7th grade, 1959-60) that you constructed a pentagon, hexagon or octagon by drawing a circle and dividing it into the corresponding number of arcs. For example, to construct a pentagon with a 3" diameter, you would draw the 3" circle and mark each increment of 72 degrees (5 x 72 = 360) along the perimeter with a protractor which gives you the five sides.</p><p> </p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
