Use consistent units. Result follow the assumptions wey you enter.

Formula

Use c = 2√(r²−d²). r na radius and d na perpendicular distance from centre to chord for di same unit. Chord length c dey use dat length unit.

Where e fit work and limits

Use consistent units. Result follow the assumptions wey you enter.

We check inputs for missing values and allowed ranges. Result wey pass the finite numeric range no go show. Rounding affect wetin display, while calculation use the model numeric precision.

Check your units and assumptions before you rely on result. Changing label no convert currency or physical unit.
