Okay, given the image and assuming it's a sphere and given: | |
Image: http://imgur.com/Qmsp0 | |
d1 = 6 | |
r1 = 3 | |
We know that Circumference is: | |
C1 = 2*3.14159*3 = 18.84954 | |
So, given that and an angle theta = 40 | |
We should get that r2 = cos(theta)*r1 = cos(40) * 3 = 2.29813 | |
So now, since we have r2, we know that C2 = 2*3.14159*r2 = 2*3.14159*2.29813 = 14.4395 | |
It seems like that should be right, shouldn't it? |
