A circle of radius 5 cm has diameter 10 cm, circumference 31.4159 cm and area 78.5398 cm². A 60° arc of it is 5.236 cm long, and the chord joining its ends is 5 cm.
The segment is the region between the chord and the arc; θ is in radians inside the bracket.
Give any one of the radius, diameter, circumference or area and the other three follow from d = 2r, C = 2πr and A = πr². For a central angle θ the calculator also returns the arc length s = rθ (θ in radians), the chord c = 2r sin(θ/2), the sector area πr² × θ/360° and the segment area r²/2 × (θ − sin θ).
The default radius of 5 cm gives a diameter of 10 cm, a circumference of 31.4159 cm and an area of 78.5398 cm². Its 60° arc is 5.236 cm long and the chord across it is exactly 5 cm, because two radii and that chord form an equilateral triangle. Starting from the circumference suits trees, pipes and columns whose diameter cannot be reached: a girth of 100 cm means a diameter of 31.831 cm.
Inputs can be in any length or area unit, including hectares and acres, and every result appears in the unit chosen under "Show results in". The central angle must be above 0° and at most 360°; at 360° the segment is the whole disc.

Use A = πd²/4, which is πr² with the radius written as half the diameter. A 10 cm diameter gives 25π ≈ 78.54 cm², and a 12 in pizza covers 36π ≈ 113.10 in². Area grows with the square of the diameter, so one 16 in pizza (201.06 in²) has more area than two 11 in pizzas together (190.07 in²).
Divide the circumference by 2π: r = C/(2π). A tree with a girth of 100 cm has a radius of 15.915 cm and a diameter of 31.831 cm (C/π). Foresters' diameter tapes do this division for you: their scale is graduated in units of π, so wrapping the tape round the trunk reads the diameter directly.
A sector is the pie slice between two radii and the arc; a segment is the region between the arc and the chord joining its ends. The segment is the sector minus the triangle formed by the two radii and the chord. For a 90° slice of a circle with a 6 in radius, the sector is 9π ≈ 28.274 in², the triangle 18 in², and the segment 10.274 in².
Multiply the radius by the central angle in radians: s = rθ. With the angle in degrees, use s = 2πr × θ/360. A 60° arc on a 5 cm radius is 5 × π/3 ≈ 5.236 cm, one sixth of the 31.416 cm circumference. Putting degrees straight into s = rθ gives an answer 57.3 times too large, the number of degrees in one radian.
For estimates, yes. 3.14 is 0.05% below π, so a 5 cm radius gives an area of 78.5 cm² instead of 78.54 cm²; the fraction 22/7 is 0.04% too high. The absolute error grows with size: for a radius of 100 m, 3.14 gives 31,400 m², which is 15.9 m² short of the true 31,415.9 m².
准确性取决于输入值和方法的假设。十进制运算使用50位有效数字，但估算、数值方法和源数据的精度可能较低；显示时的舍入并不能消除这些限制。 已按独立来源核验的计算示例：6。 例如，“半径 5 cm，圆弧 60°”根据Python 3.8 math: pi*5**2, 2*pi*5, 5*radians(60), 2*5*sin(radians(30)) = 5 (equilateral triangle), pi*25*60/360进行核验。
