Circle Calculator
Everything Circles
The Circle Calculations function simplifies working with circular shapes in construction projects. Input the circle's diameter or radius to instantly obtain the area and circumference. This function also allows you to input an angle in degrees to calculate everything needed for setting out and building curved walls, staircases, decks, archways, ceilings, and roofs. It provides essential measurements such as arc length, chord length, sector area, and segment area. This function is constantly being updated with more features, making it an invaluable tool for working efficiently and accurately with circular shapes.
What is a Chord
A chord is a straight line segment that connects two points on the circumference of a circle, intersecting a section of a desired angle. In construction, understanding chords and their relationship to the circle is essential for accurate set-outs and achieving the desired aesthetic in archways, curved walls, or curved stairs. The Circle Calculator allows you to efficiently determine the length of the chord, based on the circle's radius and the subtended angle, enabling you to create smooth curves and transitions in your building projects.
What is the Arc Length
The arc length is the measure of the curved segment that spans a specific angle within a circle, connecting two points on the circumference. It is important to understand the concept of arc length for accurate set-outs and construction of archways, curved walls, and curved staircases. The Circle Calculator can easily determine the arc length based on the circle's radius and subtended angle, allowing you to create visually appealing and structurally sound designs.
