You want the corner to corder distance of a 2 inch square. That would be the square root of 8 which is about 2.83 inches. A 2" square should just fit inside a circle that is square root of 8. And have a few thousandths clearance inside of 2.83 diameter circe Remember c = sqrt( a^2 + b^2) for a

That’s one for the Babylonians, and later Pythagoras. Sqrt(51.5^2 + 51.5^2) =72.83 will give you the diameter. With trig, 51.5/sin(45) will give you the same number. > On Mar 11, 2022, at 9:44 PM, gene heskett wrote: > > Greetings all; > > I need to setup a starting point, a preliminary
