If you have an equilateral triangle inside a circle and you know the radius of the circle how do you figure out the length of the sides of the triangle?
I'm doing some off-center turning and I want to have a little more precision in things. I can make a fairly exact circle - it's woodturning after all, that's what we do. I can measure the radius. But the three points on the circle that would be exactly the same distance from one another - I can't figure out how to do that.
I can just eyeball it but that seems so - I don't know - imprecise.
ANy help?
