Sorry. I mean "summed," which is probably what I should have said. Hopefully that's unambiguous.

How many ways can the numbers 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, and 100 be combined to form the number 200? This is a good example of the sort of problem that gives me trouble. Usually, as here, I have a few ideas but find it difficult to proceed because I get hung up on organizing the calculations to be...

Thanks! I think you've led me to a solution that won't require any calculations or further measurements. How'd you create that nifty diagram? Just for kicks, how would I go about solving this if I knew the ratio? One other thing: would you say it's reasonable to assume that the arc angle is...

A sad and strange image, I know, but better than none at all. What you see is a stake I'm trying to model using CAD software. With the dimension given (5 inches--in case it's not clear, the distance from the top of the equilateral triangle that encloses this shape to the midpoint of the red arc)...
