How to do square roots in paper?

Post by Swapnil Das »

I just saw a crease pattern with a reference on it, and it said: Sqrt (2) + 5. What the hell does that mean???
it's the cp for the walking grasshopper by brian chan and i'd really appreciate some help!

From Long Quach:
The answer comes straight out of

La Géométrie (1637)
René Descartes
www.gutenberg.org/files/26400/26400-pdf.pdf

The square root of 2.
