arc length/circumference = central angle/2*pi (radians)
So, central angle = 2*pi*arc length/circumference = 4.54 radians.
Or, since 2*pi radians = 360 degrees,
central angle = 360*arc length/circumference = 260.0 degrees, approx.
A central angle of 120 is one third of the circle, so the arc length of 28.61 is one third of the circumference. 28.61 X 3 = 85.83
A circle can have a unit of length which could be either a measure of its diameter or radius, or of its circumference. Or the circle could have the unit of area.
Well, in degrees, the arc is congruent to its central angle. If the radius is given, however, just find the circumference of the circle (C=πd). Then, take the measure of the central angle, and divide that by 360 degrees. Multiply the circumference by the dividend, and you will get the arc length. This works because it is a proportion. Circumference:Arc length::Total degrees in triangle:Arc's central angle. Hope that helped. :D
The circumference of a circle is the length or distance around the outside of the circle.
circumrenceThe length around a circle is called the circumference
-- Circumference of the circle = (pi) x (radius) -- length of the intercepted arc/circumference = degree measure of the central angle/360 degrees
An arc can be measured either in degree or in unit length. An arc is a portion of the circumference of the circle which is determined by the size of its corresponding central angle. We create a proportion that compares the arc to the whole circle first in degree measure and then in unit length. (measure of central angle/360 degrees) = (arc length/circumference) arc length = (measure of central angle/360 degrees)(circumference) But, maybe the angle that determines the arc in your problem is not a central angle. In such a case, find the arc measure in degree, and then write the proportion to find the arc length.
A central angle of 120 is one third of the circle, so the arc length of 28.61 is one third of the circumference. 28.61 X 3 = 85.83
The entire circumference has a central angle of 360 degrees. The arc is a fraction of the circumference. The fraction is (central angle) divided by (360). So the arc length is: (circumference) x (central angle) / (360) .
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).
64°/360° = 8/45 of the circle = 0.1777 (rounded, repeating)The arc's length is 8/45 of the circle's total circumference.
