Resumen
A regular polygon is scaled up in size so that its side length equals the length of some diagonal from the smaller polygon (the magnification diagonal). The diagonal lengths in the large polygon are seen to be sums of those in the smaller. The illustration is for an 11-gon. The diagonals are numbered in order of increasing size. Choose a magnification diagonal and a diagonal from the larger polygon. Then move the slider to see the small diagonals involved in the sum Componente Curricular::Educação Superior::Ciências Exatas e da Terra::Matemática
