BEHIND THE NUMBERS

How this calculation works.

Choose the pair of supplied arc measurements. Arc angle is at most one full circle. The tool also returns radius, chord, segment rise and sector area. A measured chord and rise belong to the separate Radius from Chord and Rise tool.

s = rθ (θ in radians); r = s/θ; θ = s/rCalculated with normalised units
