Check

Mixing units or scales across radius, central angle before calculating chord length.
Rounding too early when the chord length still feeds another step.

Example

9 units, 70 deg gives Chord Length 10. 32.

Formula

chord length = 2 x radius x sin(angle / 2)

Convert the angle into the chord relationship inside the circle and multiply by the radius term.

The central angle should be entered in degrees.
