Shortest diagonal (Proofs):
Second shortest diagonal
Longest diagonal
Regular Decagon
Can we find any other geometric proof of incommensurability between the diagonal and the side? Actually, for the kind of diagonals we considered above, the answer is no. To know why, check the following PDF documents (for now, only in Portuguese):
Incomensurabilidade entre a diagonal mais curta e o lado de um polígono regular
Fórmula para a razão entre as diagonais e o lado de um polígono regular
Incomensurabilidade entre a segunda diagonal mais curta e o lado de um polígono regular
Incomensurabilidade entre a diagonal mais longa e o lado de um polígono regular
