Since she PM'd this to like eleventy billion people it seems, I thought I'd post the solution for everyone.
First, the question: Quote:
Part one is simply the definition for relating arc length, radius, and central angle (in radians). Part two is how to use that definition with the known radius and arc length to find the chord length. Just make sure your calculator is in radians mode when using the final equation: chord length = 2r sin(s/2r)

Heheh, I guess I should have placed the sarcasm icon in my post......I like math, but I'm scared of it. I took the bare requirements in school, and rarely use it in life.

Yay for math. I wish I had sweet teachers in school to explain it to me I have a horrible time processing this stuff, but it's so cool.
