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.


If the radius of a circle is doubled how is the length of the arc intercepted by a fixed central angle changed?

If the radius of a circle is tripled, how is the length of the arc intercepted by a fixed central angle changed?


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


In a circle of radius 60 inches a central angle of 35 will intersect the circle forming an arc of length?

To find the arc length of a circle given a central angle, you can use the formula: Arc Length = (θ/360) × (2πr), where θ is the central angle in degrees and r is the radius of the circle. For a circle with a radius of 60 inches and a central angle of 35 degrees, the arc length would be: Arc Length = (35/360) × (2π × 60) ≈ 36.7 inches.


Is it possible for an arc with a central angle of 30 degrees in one circle to have a greater arc length than an arc with a central angle of 150 degrees in another circle?

It is certainly possible. All you need is a the second circle to have a radius which is less than 20% of the radius of the first.


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


How do you find the degree measure of a central angle in a circle if both the radius and the length of the intercepted arc are known?

-- Circumference of the circle = (pi) x (radius) -- length of the intercepted arc/circumference = degree measure of the central angle/360 degrees


What is the arc length of the subtending arc for an angle of 72 degrees on a circle of radius 4?

If this is a central angle, the 72/360 x (2xpix4) = 5.024


A central angle of a circle of radius 8 cm intercepts an arc of 12.5 cm express the central angle in degrees?

89.52 degrees.


A central angle measuring 120 degrees intercepts an arc in a circle whose radius is 6. What is the area of the sector of the circle formed by this central angle?

The area of the sector of the circle formed by the central angle is: 37.7 square units.


How does radius affect arc length?

The arc length of a circle is directly proportional to its radius. Specifically, the formula for arc length (L) is given by (L = r \theta), where (r) is the radius and (\theta) is the central angle in radians. This means that as the radius increases, the arc length also increases for a given angle. Conversely, for a fixed radius, a larger angle will result in a longer arc length.


What is the arc length of the minor arc of 85 and 13?

To find the arc length of a minor arc, you need the radius of the circle and the central angle in radians. If the central angle is given in degrees, convert it to radians by multiplying by (\frac{\pi}{180}). Assuming you have a circle with a radius of 85 units and a central angle of 13 degrees, the formula for arc length is (L = r \theta), where (r) is the radius and (\theta) is the angle in radians. Thus, the arc length would be (L = 85 \times \left(\frac{13 \times \pi}{180}\right)).
