The way I show my gratitude when I receive informational help from people is
by shamelessly exploiting their knowledge again, so here goes:
If I know the lengths of two chords of a circle, both of which are smaller
than the diameter and which are parallel to each other at a known distance,
how do I compute the radius of the circle?
I've looked on various geometry sites on the web, but I can't find a
particular means to make this calculation.
Your help is much appreciated!
Dave!

| (...) I am just guessing, but don't 4 points uniquely (over) determine a circle, because any 3 noncollinear points actually uniquely determine a circle? If you can calculate the radius from any 3 non collinearpoints you can do it from this info as (...) (23 years ago, 7-Nov-01, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
