How to use this calculator

  1. Enter the known values in the units shown. Results update as you type.
  2. Where results are editable, change one to solve backwards. Lock a value to hold it fixed.
  3. Use the worked example to check the method. Reset restores the starting fields.

Formula and method

For the worked example, Central angle θ꜀ = 60.

Central angle=2×inscribed angle; chord²=4(r²−d²); PA×PD=PB×PC

Worked example

Enter these known values and leave the other values blank.

Assumptions and limitations

  • Central and inscribed angles must subtend the same arc. Arc length uses radians.
  • For intersecting secants, all distances start at their common exterior point. A tangent coordinate lies on a circle centered at the origin.
  • The tangent slope is −x/y; y=0 gives a vertical tangent instead of a finite slope.

Common questions

How do I use this relation?

Choose the relevant mode and enter independent known quantities. Leave a missing value empty where the control permits an inverse.

What do the displayed numbers mean?

The result follows the stated mathematical model. All dimensions must use consistent units; available unit selectors handle conversions.
