Finding the distance in a curve

This shape has a curve that is a radius of 543mm. Does anyone know how to calculate the distance shown in the middle of the curve?

I have the width, height, and radius, but I don't know how to find out the depth of the curve. This is for work rather than school, and exceeds my memory of GCSE maths.

I'm quite happy to calculate myself, I just need some pointers on how to approach it. I can't really work out how to apply the information I can see online to suit it.
