Did he say wanted the full circle or the 5' arc?


He said he wanted the 5' Chord!



Actually, he said he wanted the radius so he could draw the arc. Arc, not
chord. If he wanted to wind up with a 5' chord all he would need is a 5'
straight edge.

Bill's point is that the 5' dimension is the measurement of the chord, not the arc.
