$$\small{\text{$ \rm{central~angle}= \varphi_\rm{rad} $}}$$

$$\small{\text{$ \begin{array}{rcl} \rm{area}_B &=& 2\cdot\left[ \pi r^2 \cdot \frac{\varphi_{\rm{rad}} }{2\pi} - \frac{1}{2} \cdot r^2 \sin{(\varphi_{\rm{rad}} )} \right] \\ \rm{area}_A &=& \rm{area}_B=\rm{area}_C\\\\ \rm{area}_{circle_1} = \rm{area}_{circle_2} &=& \pi r^2\\ \rm{area}_{circle_1} - \rm{area}_B &=& \rm{area}_B \\ \rm{area}_{circle_1} &=& 2\cdot \rm{area}_B \\ \pi r^2 &=& 2\cdot \rm{area}_B \\ \pi r^2 &=& 2\cdot 2\cdot\left[ \pi r^2 \cdot \frac{\varphi_{\rm{rad}} }{2\pi} - \frac{1}{2} \cdot r^2 \sin{(\varphi_{\rm{rad}} )} \right] \\ \pi r^2 &=& 2\cdot r^2 \cdot \varphi_{\rm{rad}} - 2 \cdot r^2 \cdot \sin{ ( \varphi_{\rm{rad}} ) } \qquad | \qquad : r^2\\ \pi &=& 2 \cdot \varphi_{\rm{rad}} - 2 \cdot \sin{ ( \varphi_{\rm{rad}} ) } \qquad | \qquad : 2\\ \frac{\pi}{2} &=& \varphi_{\rm{rad}} - \sin{ ( \varphi_{\rm{rad}} ) } \\\\ \end{array} $}}$$

$$\boxed{ \varphi_{\rm{rad}} - \sin{ ( \varphi_{\rm{rad}} ) } = \frac{\pi}{2} }$$

The Newton-Raphson method in one variable is implemented as follows:

Given a function ƒ defined over the reals x, and its derivative ƒ',

we begin with a first guess x0 for a root of the function f.

Provided the function satisfies all the assumptions made in the derivation of the formula,

a better approximation x1 is

$$\small{\text{ $ x_{1} = x_0 - \frac{f(x_0)}{f'(x_0)} \,$. }}$$

$$\varphi_{\rm{rad}_1} = \varphi_{\rm{rad}_0} - \dfrac{ \varphi_{\rm{rad}_0} -\sin{ ( \varphi_{\rm{rad}_0} ) } - \frac{\pi}{2} } {1-\cos{ (\varphi_{\rm{rad}_0}) } }$$
