Circle Segment Area Calculator (A = ½r²(θ−sinθ))
This calculator computes the circle segment area: exact formula A = ½r²(θ−sinθ), worked example r = 6 cm, θ = 90° = 1.5708 rad → A = 10.26 cm².

How the circle segment area Calculator Works
The calculator applies the exact formula A = ½·r²·(θ − sin θ). Worked example: r = 6 cm, θ = 90° = 1.5708 rad → A = 10.26 cm². Keep every input in one unit system and the result follows in square units (m², ft², cm²); full precision is kept until the final rounding. All side lengths must share one unit or the area comes out scaled wrongly.
