SOLUTION: How do I compute the length of a chord line and the height at the mid point of the chord, only having the radius and the length of arc. Thanks, Ed

Question 31398: How do I compute the length of a chord line and the height at the mid point of the chord, only having the radius and the length of arc.
Thanks, Ed

Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Using the length of the arc you should be able to calculate
the angle subtended by the arc in radian measure or degrees.
Forming a triangle with two radii and the chord you can
use Law of Sines or Law of Cosines to get the length of
the chord.
