How does one find the length of an arc?
An arc length is the measure of the distance along the curved line making up the arc. It is longer than the straight line distance between the two end points.
A line touching an arc or circle at only one point perpendicular to the arc's radius is said to be?
tangent
Line from the arc to the center point of a circle?
Radius
How many sides does an arc have?
The same as a straight line.
Is it possible to contruct a equilateral triangle with a straightedge and a compass?
Yes definitely. Draw a line. Set the compass to the length of that line. Place the point of the compass on one end of the line and prescribe an arc. Place the compass on the other end of the line and prescribe a second arc which intersects the first arc. Where they meet, draw lines to each end of the first line and you will have an equilateral triangle.
What is mathimatical radious?
In mathematics, the radius of an arc is a straight line from the centre of curvature of the arc to the arc. In the case of a circle it is the line from the circle's centre to its circumference.
How many lines of symmetry does a semicircle have?
One. The line of symmetry for a 180 degree arc (a semicircle) is the line that bisects the arc.
How are segment and an arc different?
A segment is a part of a line. An arc is a part of a circle.
What is the size of a corner arc of a football field?
The corner arc has a radius of 1 yard with a center on the intersection of the goal line and the touch line.
How does one find the length of an arc?
An arc length is the measure of the distance along the curved line making up the arc. It is longer than the straight line distance between the two end points.
What is an arc in geometry?
Basically, a curved line.
What is the definition of an arc in math?
A part of a curved line. Often part of the circumference of a circle, but not necessarily. An arc can refer to other curved line segments.
How many ways can an arc be tangent to one line?
Only once. A tangent line shares only one point with any single arc/curve.
A line touching an arc or circle at only one point perpendicular to the arc's radius is said to be?
tangent
Line from the arc to the center point of a circle?
Radius
How many sides does an arc have?
The same as a straight line.
A meridian is a line of what?
A meridian is a line of constant longitude.
