Enter the distance, length, and angle into the calculator to determine the angular size of a triangle.
Angular Size Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the angular size.
D = 2 * L * tan (a/2)
- Where D is the angular size
- L is the radius/length depicted below
- a is the angle depicted below
To calculate the angular size, multiply 2 times the length by the tangent of half the angle.
Angular Size Definition
An angular size is a value of the length of a field of view.
