Exploring Arc Length and Sector Area

What is the formula for calculating the arc length of a circle?

• Arc length = pi * radius * arc measure / 180

• Arc length = pi * radius^2 * arc measure / 360

• Arc length = 2 * pi * radius * arc measure / 360

• Arc length = radius * arc measure

How is the arc measure represented in the formula for arc length?

• As a fraction of the circle's circumference

• As a fraction of 360 degrees

• In radians

• In square units

What is the relationship between arc length and circumference?

• There is no relationship

• Arc length is always half of the circumference

• Arc length equals the circumference divided by pi

• Arc length is directly proportional to the circumference

How do you calculate the sector area of a circle?

• Sector area = (arc measure / 360) * pi * radius^2

• Sector area = (arc measure / 180) * pi * radius

• Sector area = 2 * pi * radius^2

• Sector area = pi * radius^2

What is the sector area when the arc measure is 90 degrees and the radius is 4?

• pi

• 8 pi

• 2 pi
