This tool calculates the length of an arc based on its radius and central angle.
How to Use the Arc Length Calculator
This calculator helps you find the length of an arc when you know the radius of the circle and the angle in degrees.
Steps:
- Enter the radius of the circle in the “Radius” field.
- Enter the angle in degrees in the “Angle” field.
- Click on the “Calculate” button to get the arc length.
Explanation
The arc length is calculated based on the formula:
Arc Length = Radius × (θ × π / 180)
Where:
Radiusis the radius of the circle.θis the angle in degrees.
Limitations
This calculator assumes that the angle provided is in degrees. If the angle exceeds 360 degrees, it won’t accurately portray arcs that overlap multiple circles. Always ensure that your input values are within a logical range and represent the parameters you aim to calculate.
