Chord Length of Circle Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Chord Length of Circle = 2*Radius of Circle*sin(Central Angle of Circle/2)
l_c = 2*r*sin(∠_Central/2)
This formula uses 1 Functions, 3 Variables

Functions Used

sin - Sine is a trigonometric function that describes the ratio of the length of the opposite side of a right triangle to the length of the hypotenuse., sin(Angle)

Variables Used

Chord Length of Circle - (Measured in Meter) - Chord Length of Circle is the length of a line segment connecting any two points on the circumference of a Circle.
Radius of Circle - (Measured in Meter) - Radius of Circle is the length of any line segment joining the center and any point on the Circle.
Central Angle of Circle - (Measured in Radian) - Central Angle of Circle is an angle whose apex (vertex) is the centre O of a Circle and whose legs (sides) are radii intersecting the circle in two distinct points.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Radius of Circle: 5 Meter --> 5 Meter No Conversion Required
Central Angle of Circle: 170 Degree --> 2.9670597283898 Radian (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

l_c = 2*r*sin(∠_Central/2) --> 2*5*sin(2.9670597283898/2)

Evaluating ... ...

l_c = 9.96194698091721

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

9.96194698091721 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

9.96194698091721 ≈ 9.961947 Meter <-- Chord Length of Circle

What is a Circle?

A Circle is a basic two dimensional geometric shape which is defined as the collection of all points on a plane which are in a fixed distance from a fixed point. The fixed point is called the center of the Circle and the fixed distance is called the radius of the Circle. When two radii become collinear, that combined length is called the diameter of the Circle. That is, diameter is the length of the line segment inside the Circle which pass through the center and it will be two times the radius.

What are the properties of chords?

If the chords are parallel to each other, then the length of the arc between them will be the same. Chords of the same length are equidistant from the center of the circle. The greater the length of the chord, more closer to the center of the circle.
