  The bulk of this is collapsing down a nasty law of cosines I think in the triangle. I think I’ve got a strategy for the circle, but I’ll see. Been working on it a little for two days, made some progress.

  Where did you find this?

    IOP is not a right triangle. This problem just came up while trying to solve an engeneering problem.

    Thx a lot for trying it out, i found two solutions myself, but it was either solving a quartic polynomial or finding the limit of a series… I wanted to see if anyone found a more elegant solution ;)

      This is what I have so far. Realized my confusion - d’^2 + d^2 wouldn’t be D^2, ofc, so that the cosine there doesn’t evaluate to zero.

        Nice ! At first i though your h was my H and was very confused, but this looks alright to me :)
