Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Sagitta from Radius and Chord Length, formulas, and typical use cases.

What does the Sagitta from Radius and Chord Length calculator do?

It helps with recovering segment height from measured radius and chord span.

What formula does the Sagitta from Radius and Chord Length calculator use?

Sagitta = r - √(r² - (c²/4)), where c is chord length.

What inputs are valid?

Radius must be non-negative and chord length must be between 0 and 2r.

When would I use this?
