Is an arc a fraction of a circumference?
It is part of a curve. If that curve happens to be a circle, then it is a fraction of a circumference but it need not be.
What is a circumference?
The circumference is the distance around a closed curve. It is used to mean the perimeter of a circle.The circumference is the distance around a closed curve (i.e. a circle).
Is circumference a chord?
Not at all! The circumference is the length of the boundary of a circle. A chord is a straight line(or a line segment) that passes through two points on the boundary of a circle (or on a curve).
Is there any circle which diameter is bigger than its circumference?
No. The ratio of circumference to diameter for any circle is pi, which is approx 3.14 Consequently, the circumference of every circle is more than 3 times greater than its diameter. but i think it is not applicable for curve surface.
How do you rigorously prove that the circumference of a circle can be measured in linear units?
The circumference of a circle is its boundary - it is a perimeter and therefore is a linear measure. Whether it is a smooth curve, as in the case of a circle, or a set of line segments meeting at vertices is irrelevant to its being linear.
Is an arc a fraction of a circumference?
It is part of a curve. If that curve happens to be a circle, then it is a fraction of a circumference but it need not be.
What is the curve between 2 points in a circle called?
If the curve is part of the circumference of the circle, it is called an arc.
Why do arcs have a curve?
Because they are parts of the circumference of a circle

What is part of a circle or the curve between two points on a circle?
An arc is part of the circumference of a circle
What is a part of a circle or the curve between two points on a circle?

What does circumference mean?
The size of something, distance all around it.Circumference is the distance around the perimeter of a circle.
What is the diameter circumference?
Diameter is the length of a straight line passing through the center of a circle or sphere and connecting two points on the circumference of the circle or the surface of the sphere. Circumference is the length of the closed curve of a circle.
Is circumference a chord?
Not at all! The circumference is the length of the boundary of a circle. A chord is a straight line(or a line segment) that passes through two points on the boundary of a circle (or on a curve).
If facing a flange pipe on a lathe what is the circumference?
Circumference is the distance around a circle (closed curve) which in this case would be the flange's circumference. A circumference is calculated by using the mathematical constant of Pi (3.143). It entails multiplying the outside diameter by 3.143.Example: Diameter = 145mm145 multiplied by 3.143 equals 455.735mm
Is there any circle which diameter is bigger than its circumference?

What fraction of the circle circumference is on the base of the parallelogram?
It should be an infinitesimally small fraction, since a circumference is a curve and the base of a parallelogram is a straight line.
