    I’m just a carpenter.... But through the years not knowing much algebra or trigonometry. I have always used this simple formula when building. To find the radius when the cord and the height are known. Try this. R=(Width squared) divided by (height times 8) Plus 1/2 Height. Very simple and never fails. Of course now I just pull out my construction master calculator.

    Thank you very much. I just used this information for a real life scenario. I'm designing a desk with a curve for the L-shape. I want the curve as tight as possible so I can swivel more and roll less but I also want the curve wide enough that I can roll up to the desk and be within 4" of my keyboard.
    So for me, the chord was the width of my office chair 25" and the length of the perpendicular bisector was 4". After doing the math, the radius of the circle for my corner desk will need to be 21.53 inches.

    Just measure the chord with a tape. Then find the center and measure from center to the circle. Then do r-half of the chord squared plus half the chord squared equals r squared and math it out on the site. Personally I’d set up a formula in excel or google sheets and just have to enter both the chord length and the distance from the circle to the center of the chord and then boom. You look like a boss!

  • @bgdavenport
    @bgdavenport 4 года назад +1

    I CARE! This is particularly useful for paper modeling which relies heavily on truncated cones. If I which to cap the cone with circular sections, it helps to know the radii! I knew this formula decades ago and was on the verge of solving it when it occurred to me that I should check first before reinventing the wheel. Thank you. BTW, I simplified (and checked) the formula: r= x2 + y2 / 2y That is of course, x squared + y squared = twice y.

    Thanks for the video but I suggest using the intersecting chords theorem where the second chord is the diameter (d) passing through P, M and O to the other side of the circle ( lets call it Q)
    The theorem basically says that the lengths of the chord segments for both chords on each side of the intersecting point when multiplied together are equal.
    So in your example:
    AM × MB = PM × MQ
    5 ×5 = 3 × (d-3)
    25=3d-9
    34=3d
    34/3=d=2r
    r=34/6=17/3
    Same answer but less constuction and simpler algebra.

  • @jupiternextmusic8764
    @jupiternextmusic8764 2 года назад +4

    I thought you could use the law of intersecting chords theorem, which says AM * BM = PM * MX, where X is the point on bottom continuing the bisector all the way down. Therefore 5 * 5 = 25, so the length of PX would be 25 / 3 = 8.3, then 8.3 + 3 = 11.3 for a diameter of 11.3. Divide by 2 and you get the radius = 11.3/2 = 5.65. R = 5.65
    I guess there are multiple ways to solve? :) Thanks!

      This was my thought, too: this gives you a direct computation instead of having to set up and solve a quadratic equation. You should take more care with your round-off errors, though. Your final result is not a very good approximation to 17/3.

    A straight edge and square p downwards then join a straight line from p to b. Get the halfway point of p to b then square that down. Where those two squared lines intersect is your radius... hope that helps. I didnt read all the comments so I'm not sure if someone posted this.

    A circle has a radius of 15 cm, how far from the center is a chord of 24cm length?
    A chord is 10 cm from the center. How long is it?

    • @MrHelpfulNotHurtful
      @MrHelpfulNotHurtful  3 года назад

      For your first question, draw a segment from the center to the end of the chord. This is a radius which is 15. Draw a segment from the center to the chord. This is what you are looking for so label it x. Half of the chord is length 12. The x and the 15 and the 12 form a right triangle with hypotenuse 15. Use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve for x. a squared plus b squared equals c squared.

    • @MrHelpfulNotHurtful
      @MrHelpfulNotHurtful  3 года назад

      For the second question you will form the same triangle and use the Pythagorean Theorem again. This time the x will be one side of the chord. The other two sides of the triangle are 10 and 15 (the radius is again the hypotenuse). Once you find x, you have to double it to get the length of the whole chord.

    Ok so I just had this problem but it was a real world application instead of for one of my classes this time. I needed to cut a curve out of some plywood and I only knew the width (P to M in the video) of the sector and the hight of it ( A to B in the video). I did some testing and this is how it can be done.
    1. Measure inside angle from B to P. Let's say it was 15° in the video.
    2. Draw a center line through P and M and make it continue past M a good bit.
    3. Take angle_(BP) multiply it by 2. (We would get 30°).
    4. With your protractor laying flat on the line you made in step 2, slide it along the line until the protractor crosses the circumference at 30°.
    5. The center point of the protractor will be the center of the circle. Plot that point then all you have to do is measure the radius from that point to the outside of the circle segment.
    (Edit) in step 4 when you do this with large circles(or skinny segments) it helps to lay a ruler or straight edge across the protractor at the angle you found in step 3 so that it will still cross the circle.

      17/3 is exact and cannot be reduced further. If you divide you get 5.6666666... which you you must round to 5.67 or 5.7, but this is an approximation. Students are welcome to put a decimal as long as your teacher allows it. I prefer the fraction because it is exact.

      Hi Bernie, I'm not a student learning algebra, I'm a grandma thats raising her 4 yr. old grandson, trying to build a large "Hamster wheel" but large enough for a cat. I have my base with my wheels attached. Now the problem is trying to find out the size of the wheel I need that will be rolling on the base. It's been a number of years since I have been out of school. And even then I was no mathematician. But that doesn't mean I haven't enjoyed taking this trip down memory lane.
      You mentioned in your comment that you are able to get the same result with your sentence.
      So Bernie these might seem like silly questions, dare I say stupid, but here I go. Is the number 8 in your sentence always an 8 and always there? Also the same goes for the number 2 that's in the sentence?
      My measurements are
      C= 5 5/16"
      Perpendicular bisector= 2"
      I think with the measurements I've got I could at least have the arc and then maybe from there be able to figure out the size of the wheel.
      I apologize for being wordy, it goes with the territory, I'm 52 yrs. Old.
      I hope this comment finds you well, have a great day. ☺️

      MrHelpfulNotHurtful it’s a diagram with a chord than a line going through the middle intersecting the chord then near the left there is a right triangle, bottom of the triangle near the radius is 13mm then top right from the line there is 8mm the question is what is the length of EF, EF is the chord.

    • @MrHelpfulNotHurtful
      @MrHelpfulNotHurtful  4 года назад

      Aryan Bawal Are you saying that the radius is 13 and that is the hypotenuse of the right triangle? And one leg of the right triangle is 8? And the other leg is half of the chord? If so then you can find the missing side of the right triangle using the Pythagorean Theorem. X^2 + 8^2 = 13^2. So x^2 + 64 = 169. So x^2 = 105. So x = radical 105 which is about 10.2. This is half the chord, so you double it. The chord is about 20.4. If I am still not imagining the correct diagram, I will need you to send me a link to a picture.

      I can explain how this might be calculated with compass and straightedge or folded paper when knowing only the chord length and length of chord to circumference:
      1) draw a unit circle (radius of 1 unit of any measurement system) and draw a line through the center, edge to edge (diameter line) and another line perpendicular to the diameter line you just drew
      2) cut a rectangular piece of paper (a bit larger than the diameter of the circle) in the ratio of the chord to the perpendicular (chord to circumference measurement) to form a rectangle
      3) fold the rectangular piece corner to corner to form a rectangle and cut along the fold
      4) slide the triangular paper keeping its base parallel to the diameter line and the angle tip of the triangle on the circumference until the hypotenuse edge of the triangle touches the circumference exactly where the diameter perpendicular line touches the circumference
      5) mark the base of the triangle where it touches the circumference (opposite the angle tip) and draw a chord along the base of the triangle and lines from the chord’s end points to the center of the circle
      6) last, measure the resulting chord and apply the scale of chord measurement to unit measurement

    It would have helped if you had bothered to work out line three.
    Some of us don't know what you did to get these numbers.
    And that is very frustrating.

    • @MrHelpfulNotHurtful
      @MrHelpfulNotHurtful  2 года назад

      If you are taking about the numbers that are present in the problem when the video begins, they are given information. I did not write this problem, someone asked me to solve it so I tried to help out as best I could.

      @@johnx9318 I see. You don’t understand how to multiply (r-3)(r-3). Sorry I didn’t go into detail about it. It was an algebra 1 concept so I made the false assumption that everyone already knew that part. I’ll try to be more thorough in the future.

      She actually didn't explain. She just gave it as assignment then the next day she collected it without speaking anything about it. We wanted to ask but she's terrifying. She actually teaches well but she, well she's just unapproachable.
