Ahhh, you need the center of a circle that includes an arc, NOT the centerpoint along the length of an arc. Those are two different solutions. I'll sharpen my crayon with the illustration in front of me. that's it!

BTW, what you have marked as "radius" is the arc. The radius is the dotted line from each end of the chord to the center.

Looking at either illustration, do you know the x/y coordinates of each of the 3 points connected by the dashed lines? And the goal is to calculate x/y coordinates of the floating point? Two known points are insufficient to arrive at a single unique solution. The reason is that we could fit those two known points very close together as a very small portion of a large circle, or far apart on a smaller circle. In both cases, the circle passes through the two points, but the centers of those two circles are entirely different points on the grid. We need more information to calculate a solution. Since you wish to solve for a radius (and therefore a center) a third point would be needed as one way to allow for a unique solution.

dang engineers!  ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2020/04/full-95375-47316-tree.png)
Just want to make folks smile, and spit coffee on their keyboard.

You cannot just draw features on a navionics map and expect to catch fish there.

Yes, the midpoint of the chord can be located. (The chord is the straight line between two points on a circle. Then we could mark a radius, but we don't know how FAR it is to the center of the circle. When you layout some concrete forms, you are also "mentally" doing some curve fitting. You choose a radius that smooths the lines together, and that's by sight for aesthetics. He's working with a grid in a program, so that human choice can't be injected.
