I can tell you though: Getting the Inverse Arc to match Square footage and be exact is not a Job but a Magic that Contractors will not even attempt. Even with a thin razor blade on vinyl you will not get the Look you imagined and Deserved for all that effort, but a Degree of Disappointment and Dissatisfaction.

Mark where the rounded area is...then make small cuts to the rounded area with your tile saw. Wish I could show you a picture. But the unwanted tile should then s ap out easily. Keep the cuts close together.
