We know that for the angle equal to 360 degrees 2p the arc length is equal to circumference. The length of an arc is found by forming a ratio of the arc to the whole circle then multiplying it by the formula for circumference either 2pr 2 p r or pd p d like this. The corresponding formulas for arc sector are.
S 3 2 1.
The formula to measure Arc length is 2pR C360 where R is the radius of the circle C is the central angle of the arc in degrees. This angle measure can be in radians or degrees and we can easily convert between each with the formula p radians 180 p r a d i a n s 180. From this point on we are going to use the following formula for the length of the curve. S rth when th is measured in radians.
