3 equidistant points on a circle 2010-06-21
From Brian:
We have to line up 3 pins on a lifting bridle to be 120 degrees apart from each other to connect into a lifting assembly.
I know pi*d. I know straight lines connecting these points to each other will result in an equilateral triangle. How does one find these points without using a protractor? There must be a formula (formulae) to work this out mathematically.
r = 10.5 inches
pi*d = 65.9736
3 segments( arcs) = 21.9912 which is the distance along the circumference that the points are from each other.

5 points équidistants sur la surface d' une sphère 2005-08-15
From Jean:
J' aimerais placer 5 points équidistants sur la surface d' une sphère. Si vous aviez une formule simple pour un néophyte, cela m' aiderais beaucoup.
