Given a circle with known radius, what is the length of the arc segment
formed between two radii with a known angle?
if you understand what I mean; that description feels awkward... :-/

Wouldn't it be some fractional part of the circumference?
given degrees angle a=10, angle b=100 radius r=20
length = pi*r*2*(b-a)/360

You only need to convert that angle into radiant, then multiply by the
radius :
Just use the builtin macro :
#declare ArcLength = radians( AngleInDegree ) * Radius;

Initially, I had something like that in the back of my mind but was
unable to move it to the front ;-)
Thanks indeed; I now have /two/ paths to achieve it.

This is good to know!
I came across the other way on my own.
This way is shorter and less likely to have errors!
