Sweep Along Lines and Arcs

This method uses a circle swept along a curve consisting of three straight lines and two arcs. The diameter of the circle, the distance between the two leg lines, and the depth of the hole are given dimensions. The length of the leg, the radius of the arcs, and the location of the horizontal part of the handle are found as in the previous method.
