Imagine we have a rectangle (with sides A, B) that fits into the ring (r1, R2).

If r1, A and B are known, what is the equation for R2? (that is in my particular case)

What are the interrelations between r1, R2, A, B?

Ok... Basically it goes to Circular Segment calculation (Circular Segment on wolfram)

enter image description here

In terms of this picture:

$4r^2 = 4R^2 - a^2$

In terms of my original picture and question where $r = r_{1} + B$

$4(r_{1} + B)^{2} = 4R_{2}^{2} - A^2 $

and

$R=\sqrt{(r_{1}+B)^{2} + \frac{A^{2}}{4}}$
