The Angle of a Circle Arc from Radius and Chord Depth calculator computes the angle of a segment of a circle defined by arc segment area the radius of the circle (r) and the max distance (h) that the chord reaches away from the edge of the circle.
INSTRUCTIONS: Choose your preferred units and enter the following:
Arc Angle(θ): The angle of the arc segment is returned in radians. However, this can be automatically converted to other angle units via the pull-down menu.
The formula for Angle of a Circle Arc is as follows:
θ = 2 • cos-1( (r-h)/r)
