You can use the formula where s is the arc lenth, then s=r(theta) where theta is the angle in radians subtended by the arc (radian is ratio of arc length to radius) If you want to use degrees, you can either convert your central angle to degrees or use s=2Pi(r)theta/360 Once again, theta is the central angle, r is the radius, Pi is good to eat if you put an e on the end, otherwise it is about 3.14159, and s is the angle of the arc which you are looking for!

How do you calculate the the arc of a sector?
To calculate the arc length of a sector: calculate the circumference length, using (pi * diameter), then multiply by (sector angle / 360 degrees) so : (pi * diameter) * (sector angle / 360) = arc length
How do you calculate the area under an arc?
The area under the arc is the angular sweep of the arc (angle covered by the arc) divided by 360, multiply by pie times the square of the radius of the arc. If the value of pi is not given, 3.142 can be used as the value.
How do you find the arc length with the angle given?
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.
What angle has the same measure as its arc?
Central angle
How do you find radius of a circle if given arc length?
you will need to know the angle subtended by the arc; arc length = radius x angle in radians
How do you calculate the the arc of a sector?
To calculate the arc length of a sector: calculate the circumference length, using (pi * diameter), then multiply by (sector angle / 360 degrees) so : (pi * diameter) * (sector angle / 360) = arc length
How do you calculate the length of an arc of a circle?
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)
How do you calculate a segment of an arc on a circle?
Determine the angle opposite the arc and divide by 360. Multiply that by the radius and double the resulting quotient. Multiply by pi. This is the length of the arc.
How do you calculate the area under an arc?
The area under the arc is the angular sweep of the arc (angle covered by the arc) divided by 360, multiply by pie times the square of the radius of the arc. If the value of pi is not given, 3.142 can be used as the value.
What is an adjacent arc?
it is an arc of an angle that is adjacent
An angle subtended by an arc is double at the center?
an angle subtended by an arc is double at the center
How do you find the length of an arc in a circle?
You can measure it with a string. If you want to calculate it based on other measurements, you can multiply the radius times the angle, assuming the angle is in radians. If the angle is in degrees, convert it to radians first.
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.
How do you find the ark in circles?
it is more accurately called the "arc" the arc in circles are measure by the radius and the angle of projection. the formula is... s=r(angle) s is the arc length r is the radius length angle is the angle that the entire arc length makes
How do you calculate circle diameter?
The answer depends on what information about the circle is given: area, radius, length and angle of arc, area and angle of sector, etc. In each case, there is a different way to calculate the diameter but, since there is no information on what is known, it is not possible to answer the question.
Application of relation between arc of length and central angle?
The relation between the arc of length and the central angle is that the arc of length divided by one of the sides is the central angle in radians. If the arc is a full circle, then the central angle is 2pi radians or 360 degrees.
What is the relation between inscribed angle and central angle of minor arc?
minor arc of cord is half of major arc of same cord
