Talk:Circular segment

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Write-up on Circular Segment well done. There is a simpler Trig approach

Removed the hand drawn diagram as it is not relevant to the derivation of the formula and it does not add anything to the article. 165.222.186.195 11:52, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] a small additional problem

Is there a way of computing in an analytical way the length of radius R and possibly the angle Theta once the area of the segment (A) and the length and direction of the chord (c) are given?

It might be a very tiny problem

[edit] One sec^2...... pun intended

Isn't the area 1/2 r^2 theta, where theta is in radians. Don't think you need trig, unless i have misinterpreted this article —Preceding unsigned comment added by Addy-g-indahouse (talk • contribs) 11:00, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
