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.

- 0
- Inscribed angle θᵢ
- 30 deg
- Radius

- Central angle θ꜀
- 60 deg
- Arc length
- 3.1416 m
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.
