An arc is a portion of the circumference of a circle, and the circumference of a circle is the distance round a circle. So an arc looks like a semicircle, it is part of the circumference. Arcs are often used in constructions, for example if you were asked to draw an angle of 60 degrees without a protractor you would draw arcs following a special method. Arcs are drawn using a tool called a pair of compasses.

A mathematical arc is any segment of the circumference of a circle. It is normally expressed in degrees, referring to the angle between the two lines drawn from either end of the arc to the center of the circle. Therefore, a 900 arc is 1/4 of the circle's circumference and a 1800 arc is half the circumference.
