Relationship between degree of measure of a central angle and the arc it intercepts?
Arc length is equal to radius times the angle the arc subtends (makes) at the centre of the circle, but the angle needs to be in radians. Set your calculator to radians instead of degrees, or, to change degrees to radians, divide by 180 and times pi. The formula comes from the fact that the length of the arc is proportional to the circumference of the circle in the same ratio as the angle at the centre is to the complete revolution at the centre, so length of arc: circumference of circle = angle size : 360o arc/(2*pi*r) = angle in degrees/360 or angle in radians/(2*pi) so arc length is angle in degrees divided by 360, times the circumference of the circle. Answer will be in the same measurement unit as the radius.
What is an arc central angle and radius of the circle?
Radius: A line from the center of a circle to a point on the circle. Central Angle: The angle subtended at the center of a circle by two given points on the circle.
The measure of a major arc is greater than 180?
A circle subtends 360° . Therefore. if the angle subtended at the centre of a circle by an arc is greater than 180° then this is the major arc. By comparison, the minor arc will subtend an angle less than 180°
How do you find the central angle of a circle if I am given the arc length and radius?
(arc length / (radius * 2 * pi)) * 360 = angle
Find the length of the arc on a circle of radius r equals 16 inches intercepted by a central angle 0 theta equals 60 degrees?
The length of an arc on a circle of radius 16, with an arc angle of 60 degrees is about 16.8.The circumference of the circle is 2 pi r, or about 100.5. 60 degrees of a circle is one sixth of the circle, so the arc is one sixth of 100.5, or 16.8.
What are the dimensionof 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.
If a central angle measures 87 and deg then its arc will measure .?
The same as the central angle of the circle
Is a circle an arc?
an arc is a segment of a circle. If the arc subtends a full angle of 360 degrees, then the arc is a circle; but this is a special case of an arc.
What is a congruent arc?
Congruent arcs are circle segments that have the same angle measure and are in the same or congruent circles.
What is the length of an arc of a circle?
The length of an arc of a circle refers to the product of the central angle and the radius of the circle.

Answer will be in the same measurement unit as the radius.
If the arc on a particular circle has an arc length of 12 inches and the circumference of the circle is 48 inches what is the angle measure of the arc?
The angle measure is: 90.01 degrees
What is an inscribed angle on a circle?

What is the formula of a central angle of a circle?
Central angle of a circle is the same as the measure of the intercepted arc. davids1: more importantly the formulae for a central angle is π=pi, R=radius Central Angle= Arc Length x 180 / π x R
What is the relation between the arc length and angle for a sector of a circle?
A sector is the area enclosed by two radii of a circle and their intercepted arc, and the angle that is formed by these radii, is called a central angle. A central angle is measured by its intercepted arc. It has the same number of degrees as the arc it intercepts. For example, a central angle which is a right angle intercepts a 90 degrees arc; a 30 degrees central angle intercepts a 30 degrees arc, and a central angle which is a straight angle intercepts a semicircle of 180 degrees. Whereas, an inscribed angle is an angle whose vertex is on the circle and whose sides are chords. An inscribed angle is also measured by its intercepted arc. But, it has one half of the number of degrees of the arc it intercepts. For example, an inscribed angle which is a right angle intercepts a 180 degrees arc. So, we can say that an angle inscribed in a semicircle is a right angle; a 30 degrees inscribed angle intercepts a 60 degrees arc. In the same or congruent circles, congruent inscribed angles have congruent intercepted arcs.
Is it possible to find the degrees of a minor arc formed by two tangent rays on a circle that intersect outside the circle if the angle of that intersection is seventy degrees?
yes because it will always be the same at that angle. If the lines were longer the circle would just get bigger but it wouldn't change the degrees of the minor arc. It would not be possible to find actual measurements. Just the degree.
