Calculate radius with part chord

59 Views Asked by At

I'm trying to calculate the radius for the following problem based on the intersection of the blue and red lines (length and angle)

enter image description here

I tried simple trigonometry to calculate half the length of the chord = 150mm

But not sure how to calculate the sagitta which i could then use to calculate the radius as per Sagitta - The height of an arc or segment

Any suggestions?

You can mark radius $=r$. Making a triangle from the centre to the end of the blue line, we can use the law of cosines: $$ r² = (770-r)^2 + 238^2 - 2\times 238 \times (770-r) \cos{141} $$ from which we solve $r \approx 489.23$
