Sagitta (geometry)
text:
In geometry, the sagitta of a circular arc is the distance from the midpoint of the arc to the midpoint of its chord. It is used extensively in architecture when calculating the arc necessary to span a certain height and distance and also in optics where it is used to find the depth of a spherical mirror or lens. The name comes directly from Latin sagitta, meaning an "arrow".
