Geometry/Trigonometry Puzzle

RW

Ladies and Gentlemen:

In the course of my CFD work, I've come upon a problem which at first seems nearly trivial, but which, I'm embarassed to say, I haven't solved. Perhaps someone can help.

- Consider two line segments of known length.

- They are connected together, non-parallel, and the angle they form is known.

- Now without disturbing their geometry, consider those two segments as two adjacent, connected chords of a circle.

What is the radius of the circle which circumscribes the two segments as valid chords?

Thanks in advance.
