How do you do this with no "pi" factor.  

Yeah, pi are round and shortbread are square, heh, heh.

  If you have a computer (I assume you do or you wouldn't be HERE) you have a 
calculator of sufficient capacity. You merely need to know the formula.

  where c is the length of the chord and a is the length of the arc,

  radius = (a² + 1/4c²)/2a

  Plug in your values, do the math, and there you are.....

  so.....

  square a and add to memory. square c and multiply x .25 and add to memory. 
recall memory and divide by two, then divide by a. you are done.
