Angle measure of an arc

See also Angle measure of an arc. Definition: The distance along the curved line making up the arc. Try this Drag one of the orange dots that define the endpoints of the blue arc.


The arc length will be continuously calculated. They are an example of coterminal angles.

The zero angle (0°) and the full angle (360°) would technically look the .

Would that question be phrased incorrectly?

Radian is one of the unit to measure angles. In the video Sal referred to the minor arc angle as AOB and the major arc angle as ACB. Sal finds the length of an arc using the radius and the radian measure of the angle subtended by the arc. The length of an arc is simply the length of its portion of the circumference. So if we were to measure all the way around the circle, we would get pi.


So this is the center of the circle. The other common measurement for angles is radians. For this measurement , consider the unit circle (a circle of radius 1) whose center is the vertex of the angle in question.


Then the angle cuts off an arc of the circle, and the length of that arc is the radian measure of the angle. It is easy to convert between degree . This is not the same as the length of an arc , which depends on the size of the circle. Notice that cuts off or determines an arc that has length s. Only in this lesson is the inscribed angle theorem stated in full: The measure of an inscribed angle is half the angle measure of its intercepted arc. When the theorem is stated in terms of the intercepted arc, the requirement that the . Arcs are measured in three different ways. Its unit length is half of the circumference of the circle.


This relationship will be demonstrated by viewing the examples below. Determine the measure of minor arc FW within the diagram that follows.
