(Is the line eater now an imaginary function?)

	I recently have been thinking about a problem I'd created
out of boredom, but I haven't come up with a satisfactory answer.
Will someone please help me put this to rest?

	Given a square of side 10 (or whatever you want...I use
	10 for concreteness) find the length of the side of the
	largest regular pentagon that may be inscribed within it.
	Prove it is the largest.

Thanx...
