1.       Point E (0, -28.262) is the center for Arc{AJB} with Radius 424.768. So the equation for Arc{AJB} is:

x² + ( y + 28.262 )² = 424.768²
or
x² + ( y + 28.262 )² = 180427.8538

2.       Point H (75.509, 0) is the center for Arc{AID} with Radius 344.143. So the equation for Arc{AID} is:

( x - 75.509)² + y² = (344.143)²
or
( x - 75.509)² + y² = 118434.4045

3.       Point A is the intersection of Arc{AJB} and Arc{AID} and Points E, H and A are collinear. This implies that the radial segment of Arc{AJB} and the radial segment of Arc{AID} share Segment{HA} in common.

4.       Therefore, the equation of Line Segment{EHA} , which is determined by Point E (0, -28.262) and Point H (75.509, 0) would be helpful in finding coordinates for Point A.

              b)       algebra methods.
