      Subject: lv-ab: Question

      I have a geometry problem.

      Imagine two horizontal lines, one straight and one curved, a few inches long, sorta parallel with the ends of each line touching the other. Like you sliced a piece of the crust of a pizza off and the sliced-off piece is lying on the table.

      I know the length of the straight line that the knife cut, and I know the distance apart the lines are in the middle of the sliced off pizza crust, how do I find the length of the curved line?

      Norm
