While you're being filled to the top with magic, could someone remind me of the relationship between the angle at the center of the circle and the angle on the perimeter which subtend the same arc? That, or just tell me what the lengths of chords of 150, 165, and 172.5 degrees are.

Sorry, Emily, I don't speak geometry.

Nebbermind, I found it. What I was looking for, by the way, was this:
The measure of an angle inscribed in a circle is half the measure of the arc it intercepts.
Hope it helps me. Don't have much confidence. Have a big hate on for geometry.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
just tell me what the lengths of chords of 150, 165, and 172.5 degrees are.
Doesn't that depend on the diameter of the circle, or something?

Well, in terms of the radius. They seem to be using radius 60.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Well, the radius is kinda proportional to the diameter. Same deal. Just that there wasn't enough information in the question to answer the chord lengths. But you have the info now, so never mind!

I never did remember what the other thing was I needed at the store. But I got my coffee filters.
And when I was getting something out of the cupboard discovered I had a whole stash of them tucked away there. So I won't need coffee filters for quite a bit.. t /dumb, flaky and forgetful
That probably never closes.
Has everybody made up, soulless, magicless, cheesy and slutty included?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
From Slate:
Already there are signs that the social conservatives may be more enthusiastic [about Miers nomination] than the reaction of professional inside-the-Beltway conservatives would lead you to expect. James Dobson, of Focus on the Family, has already moved to support Miers, a faster nod than he gave to Roberts. The evangelical community murmurs that Dobson based his endorsement on those who have known Miers for 25 years at the Valley View Christian Church in Dallas. Her fellow parishioners bore witness to her evangelical faith. Marvin Olasky, a key influence in shaping Bush's faith-based initiatives, reported a similar review of her personal devotion on his blog. The emerging message seems to be: She's one of us and she's with us on abortion.

I meant that the most likely answer would be in terms of (some number) times R. My irritation here arises from the fact that the theorem seems to be implying that you can find the length of the chord if you know the chord of an angle twice the size (that is, can find crd(x/2) if you know crd(x)), but then the formula requires you to know crd(180-x) which I don't. So Ptolemy can just go eat it.
At least I know how many walnuts the pretty girls stole.
