This gives a closer approximation of the value of the difference between arc x and its sine chord. The difference thus obtained has to be applied as correction to each term of left hand side expression of equation ( 2 ) where length of the arc was assumed to be equal to that of its sine chord which was not correct. Hence applying these corrections in equation ( 2 ), the expression of the righthand side becomes—
