Compute chord length from radius and central angle in radians using c = 2r·sin(θ/2).
由半径与圆心角(弧度)求弦长。
| Item | Formula / Note | Source / Standard |
|---|---|---|
| Chord length | c = 2r sin(θ/2) | Circle geometry |
| Central angle | θ is the subtended angle | Geometric definition |
| Distance to centre | d = r cos(θ/2) | Right-triangle relation |
| Diameter case | θ = 180° gives c = 2r | Special case |
| Sagitta | h = r(1 − cos(θ/2)) | Segment geometry |
