EQN:

R(TAN (ACOS (R/(R+h)) - ACOS(R/(R+h))) - dL/2 = 0

R= 6,371,000m
dL=1m
h=?

...

RAD mode
Initial Guesses: 0, 1

Returns solver error unlike all HP calculators I have.
I realize this simulator uses different algorithm but never the less.
BTW WP-34s also struggles at this.
I'm wandering if I'm doing something wrong.

I'm wondering if your EQN is wrong. I can simplify it to R(0) - dL/2 = 0 which doesn't include h anymore. Undecided
