The semicircle as base element. Inscribed is the largest regular hexagon.

General case[edit]

Segments in the general case[edit]

0) The radius of the semicircle:
1) The side length of the inscribed hexagon: , see calculation 1

Perimeters in the general case[edit]

0) Perimeter of base semicircle:
1) Perimeter of inscribed hexagon:

Areas in the general case[edit]

0) Area of the base semicircle
1) Area of the inscribed hexagon

Centroids in the general case[edit]

0) By definition the centroid point of a base shape is
1) The centroid of the inscribed hexagon relative to the base centroid is: , see Calculation 2

Normalised case[edit]

In the normalised case the area of the base semicircle is set to 1.
So

Segments in the normalised case[edit]

0) Radius of the base semicircle:
1) Side length of the inscribed hexagon:

Perimeter in the normalised case[edit]

0) Perimeter of base semicircle:
1) Perimeter of inscribed hexagon:
S) Sum of perimeters:

Area in the normalised case[edit]

0) Area of the base semicircle is by definition
1) Area of the inscribed hexagon

Centroids in the normalised case[edit]

0) Centroid of the base shape:
1) Centroid of the inscribed hexagon:

Distances of centroids[edit]

The distance between the centroid of the base semicircle and the centroid of the circle is:

Sum of distances:

Identifying number[edit]

Apart of the base element there is only one shape allocated. Therefore the integer part of the identifying number is 1.
The decimal part of the identifying number is the decimal part of the sum of the perimeters and the distances of the centroids in the normalised case.



So the identifying number is:
