The arc_length is given by the angle measured in radians times the radius of the arc.

To convert degrees to radians divide by 180° and multiply by π radians.

eg 45° = 45° ÷ 180° × π radians = π/4 radians.

eg 60° = 60° ÷ 180° × π radians = π/3 radians.

It is the angle, measured in radians, that the arc makes at the centre of the circle.

the arc length is equal to the radius times the angle subtended in radians.For examale the arc length of a semicircle (angle 180 degrees = pi) is radius x pi
