Find intercept between line & circle

Hi ALL

Please see attached file - "Find intercept between line & circle"

I am trying to write a conditional statement / formula for the value in blue = P1
- This is the height from the base & the exact point where the blue radius line exactly intercepts the left hand side of the triangle.
- The above figures in blue show the solving for 'x' to get P1

What I want :- Is a conditional function here that solve for P1 in the domain of 0 < x < 12
Or the domain 0 < x< delta/2

My goal is to have a dynamic chart that will instantly plot the intercept point as shown whenever I change either or both the values:-
1 - � - delta
2 - R
Thus by changing the value of P1 then the new angle for radius tan degree can be calculated & plotted correctly.

Many thanks for any help & advice you can offer.
Best regards,
Lea ...
