Angle Subtending Arc and Chord

by "Jon G." <jon8338@[EMAIL PROTECTED] > May 23, 2008 at 05:39 AM

The angle that subtends arc A and chord B is by estimation,

=IF(t>0.985,13*(( (0.075)^2 - (0.925-t)^2)^0.5),((196 - 
(t+13)^2)^0.5+0.75*(1-t)*COS((PI()/1.2)*t) + ((EXP(1))^(-0.9*( 
t^0.3  ))-0.5)-0.07*SIN(2*PI()*t)  - 0.12/((t+1)^200)))

where t=B/A

(Excel) which with a few iterations of Newton's Method, leads to a
soltution 
accurate and precise to 9 decimal places.

I constructed the inverse of the curve of (B/A) vs. (2/x)sin(x/2) out of 
elementary functions to arrive at this approximation.
