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.

Rolls of window film 2014-02-14
From Travis:
This question is probably close to the same question as "roll of paper"

We have Rolls of Window Film that we are trying to figure out an equation for a spreadsheet that we can use to "inventory" our window film.

We use a caliper tool to measure the thickness of the roll in millimeters.

the core thickness = 1.90mm
Full Roll thickness(including core) = 9.08mm to 9.12mm
Film thickness = 0.06

Full Roll of Film is supposed to average 1200" of film

What equation could we use to get the approximate inches left remaining on the roll if we measured the roll including the core with the Caliper tool in Millimeters?

A maximum area problem 2009-01-13
From Kylie:
Help me please! I don't know how or where to start and how to finish. The problem is: A window has the shape of a rectangle surmounted by a semicircle. If the perimeter of the window is 15 ft., find the dimensions that will allow the maximum amount of light to enter.

A bay window 2008-10-30
From Scott:
Given the length of an arc, the rise of an arc, and the number of segments that I need to divide the arc into - how do I determine the length of each segment? Imagine a bay window. It could have 5 side or 7 sides, just as an example. How do I determine the width of each window given that the unit will be mounted into a frame with a 96 inch opening. The rise of the unit will extend out 18 inches. Lets say that the number of single windows unit within the unit is 5. How wide should each window be? Do you understand?
