Math/Geometry question

[Rowboat]

Hello hope someone can help.

I have a line that is 32.5mm long. Coming into it from the left I need it to be at 0 deg with the x axis. I want to "bend" the line up so that the other end of the line exits at 10 deg up. Is there a way I can use this information to figure out what radius circle would produce such a figure?

In this case it is 190mm

Or is there a way to figure out the length of the line that would connect the two points across the arc?

Thanks for looking.

edit: the line is 32.5mm long

sounds like you want to know about arc lengths?

s = r * theta where theta is in radians

your example is either wrong, or worded incorrectly because it doesnt add up at all. or maybe im just confused

Don't sweat it, Looking at it some more I think the 32.5mm wasn't used when the person who did it originally created the arc. Fortunately it's not a mars landing or anything.


The formula you gave is probably what I need (with a little creative padding) thanks.

Heh, I don't really understand the question..
Could you reformulate?

Maby ill do some paint up later but the more I look at it the more I think the last guy was just using a large R to make the curve look good and wasn't actually figuring anything out.

This seems just like a horizontal curve for a highway alignment.

R=(360/(2*pi))*(L/delta)

R=(360/(2*3.14159))*(32.5/10)=186.2
