Question from Ronnie: We are trying to build a semi life size ark decoration , and we are trying to cut the sides out . The curved sides and we can't figure our radius , all we know is that our chord length is 24ft. any suggestions on how to find the radius or maybe even the arc length or circumference or diameter? |
Ronnie,
Here are 5 different arcs all from circles of different radii and yet all with the same chord length.
Do you know anything else that might help to determine which circle you want?
