Kate Jones has just added pieces to her site that allow you to surround the shapes you are trying to reconstruct using the polyores of La Ora Stelo.
There are 3 new parts :
Below are the dimensions :
Dimensions 1 and φ refer to the dimensions of the triangles which serve as a basis for the polyores ; remember that φ is the golden ratio (about 1.618) :
Bord 1 and Bord φ are straight edges and Bord 36° is an angle-edge.
The angles of a convex shape made using polyores can only be 36 °, 72 °, 108 ° or 144 °; these angles are obtained by using respectively 4, 3, 2 or 1 angle-edges :
To familiarize yourself with these edges and, at the same time, with the polyores, I suggest exercises.
You can also choose to go directly to the challenges (défis in french).
A few words to present these challenges ; the shapes that you will have to reconstruct using polyores have a dimension denoted by .
In her pages, Kate Jones gives 148 possible values of . Here are the top 40 values :
They are arranged in ascending order ; to get an idea, here is the materialization of the first column using straight edges :
and that of the fourth column :
Here are 3 examples :
Regular pentagon series :
We give :
For each value of , you have to build the fence (example with = φ + 1) :
