Minor arc
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.

Central angle of a regular polygon is 360/n. n is the number of sides.
An arc that lies between the sides of a central angle of 180 degrees is known as a semicircle. A central angle of 180 degrees is half of a full circle, so the corresponding arc covers half of the circumference of the circle. In geometric terms, a semicircle is a special case of an arc where the angle subtended by the arc is exactly 180 degrees.
