His much-cited phrase, " And yet it moves" (E pur si muove or Eppur si muove) was allegedly pronounced in 1633 when he was forced to recant his claims that the Earth moves around the immovable Sun rather than the converse -- known as the Galileo affair. Such a shift in perspective might usefully inspire the recognition that the stasis attributed so widely to logos and other much-valued cultural and heraldic symbols obscures the manner in which they imply a fundamental cognitive dynamic. Cultural symbols fundamental to the identity of a group might then be understood as variously moving and transforming in ways which currently elude comprehension.

Folding the Regular Nonagon
210 Folding the Regular Nonagon Robert Geretschlager, Bundesrealgymnasium, Graz, Austria Introduction In the March 1997 of Crux [1997: 81], I presented a theoretically precise method of folding a regular heptagon from a square of paper using origami methods in an article titled \Folding the Regular Heptagon". The method was derived from results established in \Euclidean Constructions and the Geometry of Origami" [2], where it is shown that all geometric problems that can be reduced algebraically to cubic equations can be solved by elementary methods of origami. Speci cally, the corners of the regular heptagon were thought of as the solutions of the equation 7 z 1=0 in the complex plane, and this equation was then found to lead to the cubic equation 3 2 + 2 1= 0; which was then discussed using methods of origami. Finally, a concrete method of folding the regular heptagon was presented, as derived from this discussion. In this article, I present a precise method of folding the regular nonagon from a square of paper, again as derived from results established in [2]. However, as we shall see, the sequence of foldings used is quite di erent from that used for the regular heptagon. As for the heptagon, the folding method is once again presented in standard origami notation, and the mathematical section cross-referenced to the appropriate diagrams. Angle Trisection For any regular n-gon, the angle under which each side appears as seen from 2 the mid-point is . Speci cally, for n =9, the sides of a regular nonagon n 2 are seen from its mid-point under the angle .

( ) Methods for Construction of Odd Number Pointed
Daniel DOBRE METHODS FOR CONSTRUCTION OF ODD NUMBER POINTED POLYGONS Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to present methods for constructing of polygons with an odd number of sides, although some of them may not be built only with compass and straightedge. Odd pointed polygons are difficult to construct accurately, though there are relatively simple ways of making a good approximation which are accurate within the normal working tolerances of design practitioners. The paper illustrates rather complicated constructions to produce unconstructible polygons with an odd number of sides, constructions that are particularly helpful for engineers, architects and designers. All methods presented in this paper provide practice in geometric representations. Key words: regular polygon, pentagon, heptagon, nonagon, hendecagon, pentadecagon, heptadecagon. 1. INTRODUCTION n – number of sides; Ln – length of a side; For a specialist inured to engineering graphics, plane an – apothem (radius of inscribed circle); and solid geometries exert a special fascination.

Approximate Construction of a Regular Nonagon in Albrecht Dürer's ``Painter's Manual''
Approximate construction of a regular nonagon in Albrecht D¨urer’s Painter’s Manual: where had it come from? In Mathematical Cranks, in the chapter “Nonagons, regular”, Underwood Dudley gives an approximate straightedge and compass construction of a regular nonagon:1 Nonagons follow as corollaries from trisections, being easily made by trisecting 120◦ angles, and it would be an odd crank indeed who would pass up a famous and general problem for an obscure and particular one. Nevertheless, nonagoners exist, and Figure 1 is a nonagon construction that was made independently of any trisection. On the circle, mark oﬀ |AB| B F D A O E C Figure 1: The approximate nonagon construction in Mathematical Cranks. and |AC| equal to |OC| , and draw arcs from O to A with centers at B and C, both with radius |OA|. Trisect OA at D, draw EF perpendicular to OA, and you have the side of the nonagon inscribed in the circle with radius |OE|. That is, the angle OEF is supposed to be 40◦, but it falls short by quite a bit since it measures only 39.6◦. Writing α = OEF, we have 1 √ √ tan 1 α = 35 − 3 3 , 2 2 and 1 √ √ α = 2 arctan 35−3 3 =39.594◦ . 2 When we step around the circle with this approximate nonagon’s side, the gap that remains after the nine steps is 3.65◦, so this is a rather crude approximation. If this construction was ever advertised by some nonagoner as his (or, most improb- ably, hers) own, and as an exact construction at that, then there is a very real chance 1The quotation is not quite verbatim: the angle EOF in the original is written here as OEF, and the reference to Figure 31 in the book is replaced with the reference to its re-creation in this essay.

Two-Dimensional Figures a Plane Is a Flat Surface That Extends Infinitely in All Directions
NAME CLASS DATE Two-Dimensional Figures A plane is a flat surface that extends infinitely in all directions. A parallelogram like the one below is often used to model a plane, but remember that a plane—unlike a parallelogram—has no boundaries or sides. A plane figure or two-dimensional figure is a figure that lies completely in one plane. When you draw, either by hand or with a computer program, you draw two-dimensional figures. Blueprints are two-dimensional models of real-life objects. Polygons are closed, two-dimensional figures formed by three or more line segments that intersect only at their endpoints. These figures are polygons. These figures are not polygons. This is not a polygon A heart is not a polygon A circle is not a polygon because it is an open because it is has curves. because it is made of figure. a curve. Polygons are named by the number of sides and angles they have. A polygon always has the same number of sides as angles. Listed on the next page are the most common polygons. Each of the polygons shown is a regular polygon. All the angles of a regular polygon have the same measure and all the sides are the same length.

Construction of a Nonagon
Construction* of a nonagon Dr Andrew French *approximate 1. Draw a circle using a compass. Make sure the diameter of the circle is about half the length of the smallest dimensions of the paper you are working on. circle centre 2. Without changing the opening angle of the compass, ‘walk’ it round the circle and hence construct a regular hexagon. ‘Walk’ compass around to mark these points Keep the angle the same as used to draw the original circle 3. Extend all sides of the hexagon until they meet. Connect up these lines to form a hexagram. (Alternatively use the compass to construct equilateral triangles on top of each edge). 4. Circumscribe the hexagram using a compass 5. Connect outer vertices of hexagram with a straight line 6. Draw an arc from the midpoints of the bottom edges of the hexagon as shown. Mark where this arc crosses the outer circle. 7. Draw another arc as shown and mark where this intersects the outer circle. 8. Draw yet another arc as shown and mark where this intersects the outer circle 9. Connect up the arc intersections with three of the hexagram vertices to construct an (approximate) nonagon* i.e. a nine-sided regular polygon *It is not quite a perfect regular nonagon.
