Chord Length of Circle given Inscribed Angle Calculator

Calculate Chord Length of Circle





Formula

The formula to calculate the Chord Length of Circle given Inscribed Angle is:

\[ l_c = 2r \cdot \sin(\angle_{\text{Inscribed}}) \]

Definition

The Chord Length of a Circle is the length of a line segment connecting any two points on the circumference of a Circle. The Radius of a Circle is the length of any line segment joining the center and any point on the Circle. The Inscribed Angle of a Circle is the angle formed in the interior of a circle when two secant lines intersect on the Circle.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ l_c = 2 \cdot 5 \cdot \sin(1.4835298641949) = 9.96194698091721 \]

The Chord Length of the Circle is 9.96194698091721 meters.
