As said at the beginning, square side is 1, so we must ignore the first root for it ́s greater
than 1. Therefore, it is:
k = 2 − 1
Let ́s see the value we get for DF:
2 1

2 1
(^12) = −
−
DF= −
i.e. DF = k what means that the octagon is coherent with the folding process.

The present solution has been chosen as the best among several others, but nevertheless
it results imperfect.
