I have a small mathematical problem that I need an answer for a customer project and I hope that someone in here can solve it for me. The problem is this: Given: The locations of two points on an x-y coordinate plane and an angle in degrees (0-180) and using the two points as the radius to a circle. What is the x-y coordinate of the point on the circle at the indicated angle? ? \ \ \ \ A \ *--------------* P1 P2 Where: 'P1' and 'P2' are the two points and 'A' is the Angle in degrees. I really appreciate this. I have looked in this conference and couldn't find an answer and this problem is not my strong suit. Thanks again, Mark

It wasn't clear to me from .0 where the center of the circle was supposed to be. I asked the author by mail, and he said P1, as used in .1. Dan |
