I have a problem. I'm building a tent and can't figure something out.
I have an arc of a perfect circle which has to be of length = 10.
I also have a chord cutting a slice off this circle and from it's mid-point the height to the top of the arc is 3.
Is it possible to find the length of the chord using this information? I thought there may be a relationship between the arc length and the height of any chord a specific distance from it.
I do not know the radius of this circle.
I do not know where the center of this circle is.
I want to find the length of the red line in the picture below.
Could someone steer me in the right direction? Thanks
