Hello all
I was hoping someone could help me with a geometry problem.
Firstly this is not a homework question – this is work related I am just not very good with Maths.
I have been asked to set out an arc for a wall. I have been given all the values I need but I do not know how the values were work out.
The problem is this:-
I have an arc with a radius and start co-ordinates and end co-ordinates, there are straight lines that are tangent to the arc on either side.
If I was standing on the start of the arc and walked 10m in the x-axis what would the Y value be to the arc.
Hope that makes sense.
I have attached a sketch to help get my point across. I really want to know how it is worked out.
Thanks
