    Use your convex or concave options to do this.

    Let's start where you left off.

    Concave Start X=18.5 Z=? Finis X=18.0 Z=27(34-7) Rad=20
    Center X=58(20*2+18) Z=27 Intersect = up & right
    Concave Start X=18. Z=27 Finis X=18.5 Z=? Rad=20
    Center X=58(20*2+18) Z=27 Intersect = down & left

    Hit Calculate It should give you the endpoint. I program in quadrant since the dimension is given, I found it easier. But you can program in one line.

    Check Shape see they calculate it right.
    Hope it will help
    The best way to learn is trial error.
