Dimension Problem
(OP)
I am not sure if this is the correct forum to ask this. See attached picture. I am trying to find out the dimension of "X". If anyone knows the formula for this please let me know.
Thanks
Thanks

You have the lengths of 2 sides of the triangle. Use pythagorus theorum to find the length of the remaining side. Subtract this from the radius and voila, unless I'm missing something or showing how dumb I really am.

Simple inspection and a bit of reflection should get you to the obvious "duh" answer too.
RE: Dimension Problem
As other Guys suggested a combination of Pythagorean theorem and elementary substraction will get you there. The formula is:
(3.310-x)^2+(0.860)^2=(3.310)^2
You will obtain two solutions, which are both theoretically correct. However the smaller one is the one you are looking for.

pmarc, I am not quite sure how you came to your equation

Did quantum mechanics slip in here somehow?

RE: Dimension Problem
Believe me or not, the solution you gave leads to the same result as mine
your C = my x
your B = my (3.310-x)
It's hard to obtain different results in the problem like this.
However I agree that your method is much more clear.

There is no X (or C) in your equation.
That's what still confuses me.
