Online calculator: Circular segment

Circular segment - is an area of a circle which is "cut off" from the rest of the circle by a secant (chord).
On the picture:
L - arc length
h- height
c- chord
R- radius
a- angle
If you know radius and andle you may use the following formulas to calculate remaining segment parameters:
Circular segment formulas
Area:
Arc length:
Chord length:
Segment height:
But if you don't know radius and angle you still can caluclate the segment parameters by chord length and segment height:
Formula for segment radius by chord and height:
Then, you can caluclate segment angle using the following formula:
You may also use the following calculator to obtain segment area by its radius and height:
This calculator evaluates angle by the following formula:
then it uses formule [1] to calculate the segment area.
