An arc is a part of a circle that is defined by its endpoints. It is a segment of the circumference of the circle.
An arc is a portion of a curve defined by two endpoints and the points along the curve connecting them. It is a section of a circle's circumference or any other curved shape. The shape of an arc resembles a segment of a curve or part of a circle.
There are 60 minutes in a degree and 60 seconds in a minute, so a degree has 3600 seconds. These are arc minutes and seconds, no relation to time measurements. A circle has 360 degrees.
"Lines of longitude" are conceptual, not physical; there can be as many as we want. For example, there are 3600 "seconds of longitude" between each degree of longitude. That's 60 minutes of arc per degree, and 60 seconds of arc per minute.
The half circle of 180 degrees of arc connecting the Earth's poles is known as a great circle. This is the largest circle that can be drawn on a sphere and it divides the sphere into two equal hemispheres.
The calculation is 60 arc seconds X 60 arc minutes X 360 degrees in a full circle. So, there are 1,296,000 arc seconds in a full circle.
There are 360 degrees in a full circle. 60 minutes in 1 degree 60 seconds in 1 minute Therefore: 360 x 60 x 60 = 1,296,000 seconds
1,296,000
an arc is a segment of a circle. If the arc subtends a full angle of 360 degrees, then the arc is a circle; but this is a special case of an arc.
As long as the arc isnt a full circle, just 1, if it is a circle, infinite.
Use the information you have to find it. -- divide the length of the arc by the total circumference of the circle, or -- divide the central angle of the arc by 360 degrees (a full circle)
That will depend on the length of the arc but an arc radian of a circle is about 57.3 degrees
60
There are 60 arcminutes in one degree. There are 360 degrees in a circle. Therefore, one full rotation is equal to 360 x 60 = 21600 arcminutes.
To find the arc length, you also need to know the radius (or diameter) of the arc. The arc length is then found by finding the circumference of the full circle (2xPIxradius) and then dividing by 4 to find just one quarter of the circle (90 degrees).
Conversion of arc seconds to inches depends on the distance that is being measured. There are 360 degrees in a circle, 60 minutes per degree and 60 seconds per minute. The circumference of a circle is PI * diameter. So 1 arc second of a 1 foot diameter circle is equal to .000029 inches. (12 * PI inches diameter divided by (360*60*60))
To work out the length of the arc on a circle, you need to work out the proportion of the full circle that the arc represents. This is the proportion of the circumference of the circle. The circumference of a circle is 2 times pi times radius or 2{pi}r A full circle has 360o so an arc created between 2 radii with an angle of ao between them has a length that is a/360 that of the full circle, ie length of arc = 2{pi}ra/360 Thus, for a circle of radius r=5yds and angle=72o, the length of the arc is: 2x{pi}x5x72/360 = 2x{pi}x5x1/5 = 2x{pi} ~= 6.28yds
