Hello all,

Maths has never been my strong point and I'm faced with working out how to divide a circle of 60mm diameter into 3 parts of equal volume using two horizontal lines, I need to know how far apart to space the lines, hope this makes sense, please see enclosed diagram if it doesn't!

Martin.

22.05 mm for A and C.
What do you need it for?

Perfect! This concurs exactly with what I have learned elsewhere, thankyou very much for your help, it is appreciated.

Thanks to Guy too for shrinking the picture for me, I did search all over my computer for some tool to do this, but drew a blank, I think I need something like Photoshop.....

Thanks, Guy!

just amazing what you can do with a formulary book from 1966 and excel's "goal seek" option...
