Edge Length of Polygram given Base Length Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Edge Length of Polygram = Base Length of Polygram/sqrt(2*(1-cos(Inner Angle of Polygram)))
le = lBase/sqrt(2*(1-cos(Inner)))
This formula uses 2 Functions, 3 Variables
Functions Used
cos - Cosine of an angle is the ratio of the side adjacent to the angle to the hypotenuse of the triangle., cos(Angle)
sqrt - A square root function is a function that takes a non-negative number as an input and returns the square root of the given input number., sqrt(Number)
Variables Used
Edge Length of Polygram - (Measured in Meter) - The Edge Length of Polygram is the length of any edge of the Polygram shape, from one end to other end.
Base Length of Polygram - (Measured in Meter) - The Base Length of Polygram is the length of the unequal side of the isosceles triangle which forms as the spikes of the Polygram or the side length of the polygon of Polygram.
Inner Angle of Polygram - (Measured in Radian) - The Inner Angle of Polygram is the unequal angle of the isosceles triangle which forms the spikes of the Polygram or the angle inside the tip of any spike of Polygram.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Base Length of Polygram: 6 Meter --> 6 Meter No Conversion Required
Inner Angle of Polygram: 74 Degree --> 1.29154364647556 Radian (Check conversion here)
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
le = lBase/sqrt(2*(1-cos(∠Inner))) --> 6/sqrt(2*(1-cos(1.29154364647556)))
Evaluating ... ...
le = 4.98492042336826
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
4.98492042336826 Meter --> No Conversion Required
FINAL ANSWER
4.98492042336826 4.98492 Meter <-- Edge Length of Polygram

What is Polygram ?

A Polygram is a regular n-sided polygon with identical isosceles triangles (also known as SPIKES) attached to each edge. It looks like an n-pointed star. For an n-pointed star, there will be n-spikes. The Spike (Isosceles Triangle) is an important part of the polygram and it is defined using 4 parameters. They are :
1) The Base Length of the Triangle (Base Length of the Polygram)
2) Length of the equal side of the triangle (Edge Length of the Polygram)
3) Angle between the two equal sides of the isosceles triangle (Inner Angle angle of the Polygram)
4) Height of the triangle (Spike Height)
Apart from these, there are other important parameters that define the Polygram. They are:
1) Outer Angle: The angle between two adjacent isosceles triangles.
2) Chord Length: The distance between two peaks of the adjacent Spikes of the Polygram.
3) Perimeter: The sum of lengths of all the edges of the polygram.
4) Area: The amount of space occupied by the polygram.
