Yes, the hypotenus always goes through the middle of the circle.
That's actually how you make one with a compass. Start with the hypotenuse, find the middle, draw a circle around it. Then do the two sides...

But you do have me with the "exact north west corner" of a round lake.... I guess I needed to look a bit harder to find that corner....

Why I don't add to these: I am a student of Musashi: do not engage in useless activity.

Musashi also said: "Cultivate an interest in all the arts." "The Arts" as per traditional Japan were: 1. Bushido: way of the Samurai, including all martial (warrior) arts; 2. Flower arranging; 3. The tea ceremony; 4. Painting; 5. Caligraphy

Anyone know where I can take a course on flower arranging?

The first runner is first at the finish line. They both arrive at the line at the same time, but the "first" runner (lets name him First, is still named First at the end).

Welcome to the topic Musashi... I am glad to see, you engage in flower arranging with us on your evening off.
