What is the demsion of the inner wall on the pentagon?

knowing that the outer wall is 921 feet and using A=(half)(apothem)(perimeter) you can determine the inside walls to be about 338 feet ... check my math though! if that be the case, then the inside pentagon has an area of 4.5 acres (use trig and formula above) ... google it and the Pentagon has an area of 29 acres ... 29+4.5 and you get 33.5 which is the are of a pentagon with side 921. hope this helps.


Why did the walls in a traditional masonry bearing wall structure need to be so thick?

What do you mean by 'masonry beariing wall'. A wall can be made of masonry. The part of a building which is weight bearing, is the foundation. What do you mean by thick Iowl der. Masonry walls are usually 10 cm thick, because this was thought to be a very practical thickness if building brick walls about 2&1/2 Metre high. Any thinner, and it would be unstable and fall down. Foundations are made about 45 cm thick so as to distribute the load of the masonry wall evenly over a large area. This reduces the worry that the wall may sink or drop, and allow the walls to collapse .
