How do I calculate the length of segment f in the following image given 
points A, B and E?

Pythagorean theorem, AE and AG are known, find EG.
f = AC - EG

Or so I think :-)

AG is not known however. Anyway I found a better alternative so I don't 
need a solution any more.

You know its length.

AG is the radius of the circle.

AG = AC = AB = radius.

What tools are you allowed to use ?

EG²+AE² = AG² = AB²

ergo EG² = 1.2² - 0.8² = 36/25 - 16/25 = 20/25
EG = sqrt(20)/5

FG + EG = FE = AC = AB = 1.2

FG = (6-2*sqrt(5))/5 = 2/5 * (3 - sqrt(5))

As I said, I chose an alternative (actually better) method, so I no 
longer need the help. Thanks though!

Oops! I meant EG, sorry!
