Anyway, I'm assuming you know BOTH the distance between the two points (D),
AND the distance along the circumference (L)... I just did it again to be
totally geeky, without assuming knowledge of x1,y1 and x2,y2:
In the equasion:
pi*(sqrt((D^2/2)-2*(D/sqrt(2))*x))*(sin^-1(D/(2*sqrt((D^2/2)-2*(D/sqrt(2))
*x))))=90*L
solve for x... then:
Diameter = 2*sqrt((D^2/2)-2*(D/sqrt(2))*x)
