Sagitta (h) can be calculated using the following formula:

A = R2 cos-1{(R-h)/R} - (R-h) √(2Rh-h2)where

A = area of segment

R = Radius of circle

h = sagitta

More Information about Euclid's third postulate?

The postulate states that given any straight line segment, a circle can be drawn having the segment as radius and one endpoint as centre. I am not sure that there is more information than that!
