The conjectured sharp perimeter bound for convex decagons

Let PP be a convex 1010-gon in the Euclidean plane, let Γ\Gamma be its boundary, let L(Γ)L(\Gamma) denote the length of Γ\Gamma, and let δ(Γ)\delta(\Gamma) denote its self Chebyshev radius.

Decagon perimeter conjecture. One has

L(Γ)20(1+55+25)δ(Γ).L(\Gamma)\geq 20\left(1+\sqrt{5}-\sqrt{5+2\sqrt{5}}\right)\cdot\delta(\Gamma).

This is a sharp-looking extremal inequality suggested by calculations and computer experiments on convex polygons. The supplied text gives no resolution status.
