Hello all
I am hoping someone could help shed some light on a surveying problem I am having.
The problem is this:-
• A circle is centered at point B with Known co-ordinates (X2,Y2)
• The circle has a radius which is known (R).
• Point A lays outside of the circle with known co-ordinates (X1,Y1)
• A line is connected between Point A and Point B.
• Point C lays on the line between Point A & B.
• Point C also lays at the exact intersection of where the line and the circle meet.
• The distance between Point A and Point C is known (S).
• All points are in a Cartesian co-ordinate system
Work out what are the co-ordinates of Point C.
I have attached a diagram of the problem.
Can anyone help?
