Hello Group, I have inspired most from Vedic Mathematics and hopes that you will also take interest. Vedic Mathematics is becoming popular all over the world...

Another possible expolanation for the hall of mirror effect besides the 4d hyperdodecahedron is if the universe was hyperbolic, then dodecahedrons could pack...
If you have a curve that is a portion of circle, is it possible to figure out the radius of the would be circle? Practical application for me. I make wrought...
you can just lie two straight pieces at the two endpoints of the curve, each perpendicular the the tangent of the would-be-circle at the endpoints and where...
It is solvable with trigonometric functions. You must find the midpoint on the arc, and construct a perpendicular line that bisects the arc and the chord that...
Hi Joe, Vincent A variation; I've had the same problem with bow windows: construct two perpendiculars to parts of the curve near either end. Its the same...
Hi Mike, Joe Mike's method is correct and will work well if the arc itself is available and you can do the necessary drawing with compass and straight edge....
If you can guarantee that the curve is circular, there is a formula that will allow you to take just the distance between the ends (x) and the height (y)....
Hi Ed I am unable to get a sensible result from your formula. Are you sure that (x^2/4)= (y *(2r-y))is the correct statement? But, your post did cause me to...
The formula is right - are you using the right values for x and y? x is the whole, straight-line distance between the ends ot the curve, and y is the distnace...
