(...) r = sqrt[(A^2/8D + D/2 - B^2/8D)^2 + B^2/4] where: A = chord 1 length B = chord 2 length D = perpindicular distance between A and B or you could search on cyclic quadrilateral and solve for r using that mess, simplifying for the quadrilateral (...)

(...) 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)

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 (...)

I have a laptop that starts making a continuous tone when it's turned on. I have tried removing all PCMCIA cards and it doesn't help. Sometimes the tone has little variations in it - sounds a bit like a modem, but there's no modem built-in to the (...) (23 years ago, 5-Nov-01, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

Just like the look of these, thought I'd share the story!

(...) That's cool too, but Dan's "DIR > FILE" suggestion worked, since I had to monkey around with the information. I played with the output file and came up with what was needed. Thanks all the same! Dave! (23 years ago, 1-Nov-01, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) pretty close, it should be: dir >LPT1 This might not work over a networked printer, but you could always redirect the dir to a text file and print it from there. As in: dir >c:\foo.txt -- Hop-Frog (23 years ago, 1-Nov-01, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
