How to use this Arc Length Calculator 🤔

  1. Enter ✎ value for radius (r).
  2. Enter ✎ value for angle (θ).
  3. As soon as you enter the required input value(s), the Arc Length is calculated immediately, and displaed in the output section (present under input section).

Formula

To calculate the arc length, you can use the following formula.

\(l = \) \( r θ \frac{\pi}{180} \)

Arc Length

Calculation

Once you enter the input values in the calculator, the output parameters are calculated.

Examples

The following examples cover how to calcualte the Arc Length when radius, and angle are given.

1. What is the Arc Length of Sector whose radius is 10 units, and angle is 180 degrees?

Answer

Given:

  • radius, r = 10 units
  • angle, θ = 180 degrees

The formula to find the Arc Length of a Sector is:

l = \( r θ \frac{\pi}{180} \)

Substitute given values in the above formula.

l = \(10\times180\times \frac{\pi}{180} \)

l = 31.42 units

∴ Arc Length, l = 31.42 units

2. What is the Arc Length of Sector whose radius is 2 units, and angle is 45 degrees?

Answer

Given:

  • radius, r = 2 units
  • angle, θ = 45 degrees

The formula to find the Arc Length of a Sector is:

l = \( r θ \frac{\pi}{180} \)

Substitute given values in the above formula.

l = \(2\times45\times \frac{\pi}{180} \)

l = 1.57 units

∴ Arc Length, l = 1.57 units
