Jinsi ya kukokotoa Chord Length

Chord Length ni nini?

A chord is a straight line segment connecting two points on a circle. The chord length calculator uses the radius and central angle to find both the chord length and the sagitta (the height of the arc above the chord).

Fomula

c = 2r sin(θ/2); sagitta = r(1 − cos(θ/2))
r
radius (length)
θ
central angle (radians)
c
chord length (length)
s
sagitta (arc height) (length)

Mwongozo wa Hatua kwa Hatua

  1. 1Chord = 2r × sin(θ/2)
  2. 2Sagitta = r × (1 − cos(θ/2))
  3. 3θ is the central angle in radians
  4. 4Maximum chord is the diameter (θ = 180°)

Mifano Iliyotatuliwa

Ingizo
r = 10, θ = 60°
Matokeo
Chord = 2×10×sin(30°) = 10
Ingizo
r = 5, θ = 90°
Matokeo
Chord = 2×5×sin(45°) ≈ 7.071

Maswali yanayoulizwa mara kwa mara

What is the sagitta?

The sagitta is the perpendicular distance from the midpoint of a chord to the arc. It measures how "tall" the arc is.

When is a chord also a diameter?

When the chord passes through the center of the circle (θ = 180°), it becomes a diameter and equals 2r.

Can I calculate chord length if I know the sagitta and radius?

Yes, rearranging: c = 2√(s(2r − s)).
