Mathematica Asked by ccosm on February 1, 2021
I’m trying to solve the following problem with GeometricScene
What is the shortest circular arc of which the altitude above its chord is one?
I have the following code:
GeometricScene[
{
{a -> {0, 0}, b -> {0, r}, c -> {0, r - 1}, d},
{r, l}
},
{
GeometricAssertion[{Line[{b, c}], Line[{c, d}]}, "Perpendicular"],
GeometricAssertion[{Circle[a, r], Line[{c, d}]}, {"Concurrent", d}],
l == 2 r PlanarAngle[a -> {c, d}]
}
]
from which I get random instances like this
Is there any way to get a formula for l
in terms of r
? I know that I can substitute values of r
into the scene and then use l /. RandomInstance[scene]["Quantities"]
to get a numeric answer, but can this be done symbolically?
Obviously one can do the geometry by hand, but referring specifically to GeometricScene, does it have these capabilities?
