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 ;)
Arc length = (x/360)*2 pi r
NB In radial terms 360 = 2 pi
Hence
Arc length = (x/2 pi) *2 pi r
Cancel down by '2 pi'
Hence
Arc length = x*r
Hence
r = Arc length / x
Where 'x' is the angular value in radians.

How do you find the area of a circle when the radius is unknown?
By using the other information supplied about the circle to calculate either its radius (from which its area can be calculated) or its area (if the circle is similar to another with a given area and some ratio between the two circle is given):If the diameter is given: radius = diameter ÷ 2If the circumference is given: radius = circumference ÷ 2πIf the circle is similar to another circle which has a given area, and the length ratio is given; square the length ratio to get the area ratio and apply to the given area.
What is the formula for the diameter or a circle?
If you are given the radius of the circle, you can use the formula: diameter = 2*radius If you are given the circumference of the circle, you can use the formula: diameter = circumference/pi
What fraction of the diameter is the radius of a circle?
What name is given to the distance around circle
Formula for finding radius of a circle?
c=TT R Given the area, the radius = square root (area / Pi). Given the circumference, the radius = circumf/ 2Pi.
What is the formula to find the area of a circle with the radius given?
A = pi x radius squared where pi = 3.14
How do you find the central angle of a circle if I am given the arc length and radius?
(arc length / (radius * 2 * pi)) * 360 = angle
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
How do you draw an arc with a given length and known radius?
The length of an arc equals he angle (in radians) times the radius. Divide the length by the radius, and that gives you the ange. Measure out the angle on a protractor and draw the length of the radius at the begining and end of the angle. Then draw theportion of the circle with its center at the location ofthe angle and extending out to the radius.
What is an arc central angle and radius of the circle?
Radius: A line from the center of a circle to a point on the circle. Central Angle: The angle subtended at the center of a circle by two given points on the circle.
How do you find the radius given the chord length?
If you are given a chord length of a circle, unless you are given more information about the chord, you can not determine what the radius of the circle will be. This is because the chord length in a circle can vary from a length of (essentially) 0, up to a length of double the radius (the diameter). The best you can say about the radius if given the chord length, is that the length of the radius is at least as long has half half the chord length.
How to find length of arc if radius and angle subtended at the center are given?
Full circumference of the circle = (2 pi) times (radius)Arc is a fraction of the full circumference.The fraction is (angle subtended at the center) divided by (360 degrees).If you have the radius 'R' and the angle 'A', the length of the arc is(pi) (R) (A) / 180
How do you find radius of a circle if cord length is given?
The longest chord in a circle is its diameter and halve of this is its radius.
What is the radius of a circle given an arc and its height?
if you are given the circle's "height" then that is the diameter. the diameter is twice the length of the radius, so divide the height by two and you will get the radius.
How do you find central angle when an arc length is given?
You also need the radius. In degrees: A full circle has 360o and a circumference of 2{pi}r. If you know the arc length, you can work out the fraction of the circumference this represents (divide arc_length by 2{pi}r) and multiply this by 360o to get the angle in degrees. In radians: A full circle has 2{pi} radians; using radians arc_length = angle x radius. So given an arc_length, divide by the radius to get the angle in radians.
One radius of a circle is the same length as any other radius of any other radius?
The radius is the distance from the center of the circle to its edge. No matter how you draw this radius, it is one value of one length only, for any given circle.
What is the equation to find the arc length of a circle?
An arc of the circle is a proportion of its circumference. if the angle at the centre of a circle with radius r is θ°, then the length of the arc is given by: arc_length = 2πr × θ°/360° = πrθ ÷ 180 If the angle α is measured in radians instead, then a full turn is 2π radians, and: arc_length = 2πr × α/2π = αr ie the arc_length is the angle measured in radians times the radius.
What is the formula to calculate the length of a chord given the included angle and radius?
the length is: 2rsin(1/2 theta) where r is the radius and theta is the included angle.
