Arc- a curved line that is part of the
circumference of a circle
Arc- Man made
Picture found at www.redbrick.dcu.ie
The length of a circular arc of a circle with
radius r and subtending an angle ? (measured in
radians) with the circle centre, equals ?r. For
an angle a measured in degrees, the size in
radians is given by (a/180) p, and so the arc
length equals then (a/180)pr.
