A practical way to determine the length of an arc in a circle is to plot two lines from the arc's endpoints to the center of the circle, measure the angle where the two lines meet the center, then solve for L by cross-multiplying the statement: measure of angle/360 = L/Circumference.

An angle subtended by an arc is double at the center?
an angle subtended by an arc is double at the center
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
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.
How do you find the measurement of an arc or angle on a circle?
the general formula is arc length is equal the radius times the angle. s=r< s=arc length r=radius <=angle
An arc that lies outside of a central angle is called?
major arc
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
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
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

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.
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
What angle has the same measure as its arc?
Central angle
An arc that lies outside of a central angle is called?
major arc
How find radius in a circle given angle and length of arc?
angle of arc/ angle of circle (360°) = length of the arc/ total circumference (2 pi* radius) so you just have to find r then so: angle of arc/ angle of circle (360°) *2pi = length of the arc/ radius radius= ength of the arc/ angle of arc/ angle of circle (360°) *2pi not that hard ;)
