  2. Chord (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chord_(geometry)

    The chord function is defined geometrically as shown in the picture. The chord of an angle is the length of the chord between two points on a unit circle separated by that central angle. The angle θ is taken in the positive sense and must lie in the interval 0 < θ ≤ π (radian measure).

  3. Ptolemy's table of chords - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ptolemy's_table_of_chords

    Lengths of arcs of the circle, in degrees, and the integer parts of chord lengths, were expressed in a base 10 numeral system that used 21 of the letters of the Greek alphabet with the meanings given in the following table, and a symbol, "∠′ ", that means ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ and a raised circle " " that fills a blank space (effectively ...

  4. Inscribed angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inscribed_angle

    In geometry, an inscribed angle is the angle formed in the interior of a circle when two chords intersect on the circle. It can also be defined as the angle subtended at a point on the circle by two given points on the circle. Equivalently, an inscribed angle is defined by two chords of the circle sharing an endpoint. The inscribed angle ...

  5. Scale of chords - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_of_Chords

    A chord is a line drawn between two points on the circumference of a circle. Look at the centre point of this line. For a circle of radius r, each half will be ⁡ so the chord will be ⁡. The line of chords scale represents each of these values linearly on a scale running from 0 to 60.

  6. Intersecting chords theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intersecting_chords_theorem

    The value of the two products in the chord theorem depends only on the distance of the intersection point S from the circle's center and is called the absolute value of the power of S; more precisely, it can be stated that: | | | | = | | | | = where r is the radius of the circle, and d is the distance between the center of the circle and the ...

  7. Degree of curvature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Degree_of_curvature

    The degree of curvature is defined as the central angle to the ends of an agreed length of either an arc or a chord; [1] various lengths are commonly used in different areas of practice. This angle is also the change in forward direction as that portion of the curve is traveled.

  8. Circle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circle

    The angle between a chord and the tangent at one of its endpoints is equal to one half the angle subtended at the centre of the circle, on the opposite side of the chord (tangent chord angle). If the angle subtended by the chord at the centre is 90°, then ℓ = r √2, where ℓ is the length of the chord, and r is the radius of the circle.

  9. Circular segment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_segment

    A circular segment (in green) is enclosed between a secant/chord (the dashed line) and the arc whose endpoints equal the chord's (the arc shown above the green area). In geometry, a circular segment or disk segment (symbol: ⌓) is a region of a disk [1] which is "cut off" from the rest of the disk by a straight line.
