-- Circumference of the circle = (pi) x (radius) -- length of the intercepted arc/circumference = degree measure of the central angle/360 degrees
The length of an arc equals he angle (in radians) times the radius. Divide the length by the radius, and that gives you the ange. Measure out the angle on a protractor and draw the length of the radius at the begining and end of the angle. Then draw theportion of the circle with its center at the location ofthe angle and extending out to the radius.
The length of an arc of a circle refers to the product of the central angle and the radius of the circle.
It depends on what other information you have: area, circumference, radius, length of arc subtending a known angle, measure of angle for a known arc length etc.
(arc length / (radius * 2 * pi)) * 360 = angle
Angle is dimensionless. It's actually the ratio of two lengths ... the length of an arc of the circle to the length of the radius of the circle. That ratio is the same number for the same angle in any-size circle, and it's directly proportional to the angle that cuts the arc. When you measure angles in radians, the angle IS that number.
The length of the arc is equal to the radius times the angle (angle in radians). If the angle is in any other measure, convert to radians first. (radians = degrees * pi / 180)
The formula for calculating the circumference of a circle is 2πr, where r is the radius of the circle and π is 3.1415926535890793 - usually shorted to either 3.1416 or 3.14 So that the circumference of a circle with a radius of 10 units is 62.83 units There are pi radians in a half of a circle. Thus, the measure of a central angle which is a straight line is pi radians. We have a formula that show that the length of an intercepted arc is equal to the product of the angle in radians that intercepts that arc, with the length of the radius of the circle. So we can say that the length of a semicircle is (pi)(r). In a full circle are 2pi radians. So the length of intercepted arc from a central angle with measure 2pi is 2(pi)(r).
The length of an arc of a circle is the radius times the angle (in radians). So a full circle is an angle of 2*pi radians, and the circumference of a circle is 2*pi*radius. A half circle is pi*radius. Quarter circle is (pi/2)*radius, etc.
The length of an arc of a circle of radius r, which subtends an angle of x radians at the centre is r*x.
If the radius of a circle is tripled, how is the length of the arc intercepted by a fixed central angle changed?
you will need to know the angle subtended by the arc; arc length = radius x angle in radians
