makojunki Posted December 31, 2021 Posted December 31, 2021 (edited) Could someone tell me how, maybe a formula, I would find the distance 'Z' given a chord length 'C' and central angle. Many thanks. Edited December 31, 2021 by makojunki english
TheNoobPolice Posted January 3, 2022 Posted January 3, 2022 (edited) That distance is just the radius. But to answer your question to find radius given central angle in degrees and chord length = c / sin(θ * pi/180/2) / 2 Edited January 3, 2022 by TheNoobPolice
makojunki Posted January 9, 2022 Author Posted January 9, 2022 ah, yes. i see how it is the same as the radius now xD many thanks for the reply
