Work out the circumference of the circle and then divide it by 4
Chat with our AI personalities
A circle is two semicircles put together. The circumference of a circle is the length around it, so half of that would be what you are aiming for. Let's call the circumference "c" and the radius (the straight part of the semicircle) "r". Pi is also needed in this problem, so we can use "π". The equation for the circumference of a circle is c=2πr. Replace "r" with the length of the straight part of the circle, and do the math. Divide your answer by 2.Example:r=2c=2πrc=2π2c=4πc=(approximately)12.5712.57 divided by 2 equals approximately 6.29.The length of the curved part of the semicircle is 6.29!Hope this helps!
If it is a sector of a circle then the arc is the curved part of the circle which forms a boundary of the sector.
Length of any curve is imagined as an infinite sum of the lengths of infinitely small straight sections. If you look at a part of circle under a microscope you cannot tell that it is curved. This idea is used extensively in the branch of mathematics call "integral calculus". On a practical level, you can lay out a circle with a length of wire, then straighten it out to measure its length.
No. It's straight through the center of the sphere that the curved surface is part of.
Divide 30 by 8 (5+3). Multiply the answer by 3 for the one part length and 5 for the other part length.
