Arch Calculator

This **Arch Calculator** helps you determine the dimensions for a circular arch. Accurately calculating the **Radius**, **Span (Chord)**, and **Rise (Segment Height)** is essential for masonry, carpentry, and architectural design to ensure a perfect curve. Enter any two values to solve for the third.
