  K = area
  R = radius
  D = diameter
  C = circumference
  θ = central angle (radians)

Circumference and Area




Ellipse

(approx)

Sector and Segment






 



                   
Parabolic Segment

K (right segment)


K (oblique segment) , where T is the area of the triangle
with the base along the chord of the segment and with
opposite vertex at the point on the parabola at which the
tangent to the parabola is parallel to the chord of the segment.
