Key Points

The aim is to decode Plimpton 322 to understand its encoding of secant-squared values for specific angle measurements.
Analyzed secant-squared values for angles from 45° to 30° in 1° increments using regular sexagesimal fractions.
Examined mathematical relationships involving Pythagorean triples and slope ratios within the context of hexagon geometry.
Sec²(45°) equals 2 and Sec²(30°) approximates 1.333 in sexagesimal fractions.
The study establishes links between angle ranges and slope ratio geometry, emphasizing connections to hexagonal structures.
