Using the above figure, I want to prove the following formulaes.

1) The chord length is 1588524772163.png . In this formulaes, I don't know the proof of last formulae

2)The saggita is 1588525038705.png In this case, saggita is height of the segment. d is the height of triangular portion.

3)The angle is

Lastly, The area A of the circular segment \(A=R^2*\left(\arcsin{\frac{c}{2R}}-\frac{c}{2R}*\sqrt{1-(\frac{c}{2R})^2}\right)=R\left(\arccos\frac{d}{R}-d\sqrt{1-\frac{d^2}{R^2}}\right)\)

Lastly, The area A of the circular segment \(A=R^2*\left(\arcsin{\frac{c}{2R}}-\frac{c}{2R}*\sqrt{1-(\frac{c}{2R})^2}\right)=R\left(\arccos\frac{d}{R}-d\sqrt{1-\frac{d^2}{R^2}}\right)\)
Hello,

If any member of this forum knows how to prove these formulas step by step may reply to this question. However, I am also trying to understand and prove these formulas with my simple logic.?
 
Please take the formulas one at a time, and tell us (a) which of them you have already proved, and how (since parts may be reusable for other formulas); and (b) what you have tried for one of the others, so we can focus on that one. Trying to juggle 11 formulas at once would make this an impossible thread.

We need to see your thinking in order to help you use it!

I agree with all that Prof. Peterson wrote above. The webpage from which that image comes is a jumble if formulae.
I do have one suggestion. Add a line segment from the centre to the circle that bisects the angle \(\theta\).
That line is also the perpendicular bisector of the cord \(c\) has length \(R=h+d\).

Do you know the derivation of the first formula:

\(\displaystyle c \ = \ 2 \ * \ R \ sin(\frac{\theta}{2})\)

Please show us what you have tried and exactly where you are stuck.

Hello,

I have understood all the 11 formulas with my simple logic. Last formulae for area of circular segment of a circle is wrongly stated in my original thread #1

It must be \(A=R^2\left(\arccos{\frac{d}{R}}-\frac{d}{R}\sqrt{1-\frac{d^2}{R^2}}\right)\) or \(R*\left(R\arccos{\frac{d}{R}}-d*\sqrt{1-\frac{d^2}{R^2}}\right)\) Thanks.
