How This Converter Works
Calculates chord length from a positive circle radius and a central angle from zero through one full turn. The angle can be degrees, radians, gradians, or turns; the result uses the same length unit as the radius. Invalid values show Invalid input and results are fixed to six decimals.
Formula or rule
chordLength = 2 * radius * abs(sin(angleRadians / 2))
Example
- Input
- Radius 2; angle 90 degrees
- Calculation
- 2 * 2 * abs(sin((90 * pi / 180)/2))
- Result
- 2.828427 length units
