I need to draw an arc for a piece of trim. The end points of the arc
are 5 feet apart and the depth of the arc at the center point is 2

There ought to be an equation for this that would be far superior to
trial and error, oui?

at the library.

A very easy graphical solution is shown.

I laid out all the deck cambers for my boat using it.
