A window problem 2020-08-18
From Richard:
Hello,
I was hoping your math specialists could help me with some formulas. I have shapes with specific known variables need to calculate others.  

Example:
We make a straight legged arch, This shape has a width a overall height and a leg height, The leg height is always less then the overall, And the top is arched. We have the width, Height, and leg size.

  Need to calculate the length of the curve and sq ft of the shape.
