M32


Messier 32 (also known as NGC 221 and Le Gentil) is a dwarf elliptical galaxy about 2.65 million light-years away in the constellation Andromeda. M32 is a satellite galaxy of the famous Andromeda Galaxy (M31) and was discovered by Le Gentil in 1749. M32 measures only 6.5 ± 0.2 kly in diameter at the widest point. Like most elliptical galaxies, M32 contains mostly older faint red and yellow stars with practically no dust or gas and consequently no current star formation. It does, however, show hints of star formation in the relatively recent past.

Icosidodecagon




A 32-sided polygon. The regular icosidodecagon is a constructible polygon, and the regular icosidodecahedron of side length 1 has inradius r, circumradius R, and area A

r=1/2[1+sqrt(2)+sqrt(2(2+sqrt(2)))+sqrt(2(2+sqrt(2))(2+sqrt(2+sqrt(2))))]
(1)
R=[1/2(2+sqrt(2))(2+sqrt(2+sqrt(2)))×(2+sqrt(2+sqrt(2+sqrt(2))))]^(1/2)
(2)
A=8[1+sqrt(2)+sqrt(2(2+sqrt(2)))+sqrt(2(2+sqrt(2))(2+sqrt(2+sqrt(2))))].
