Arc Length

Front

What is the formula for arc length?

Back

The arc length (L) of a circle can be calculated using the formula: L = rθ, where r is the radius and θ is the angle in radians.

What is the relationship between the radius and the arc length?

Back

The arc length is directly proportional to the radius of the circle. As the radius increases, the arc length increases.

If the radius of a circle is 10 ft and the angle is 30 degrees, what is the arc length?

Back

First, convert 30 degrees to radians: 30 × (π/180) = π/6. Then, use the formula: L = rθ = 10 × (π/6) = (10π/6) ft = (5π/3) ft.

If an arc length is 15.8π ft and the radius is 10 ft, what is the angle in radians?

Back

Using the formula θ = L/r, we have θ = (15.8π)/(10) = 1.58π radians.
