Arc length is the distance along the curved line of a circle between two points. It depends on the radius and the central angle subtended by the arc.

공식

s = rθ (θ in radians) or s = 2πr(θ°/360°) (θ in degrees)
r
radius (length)
θ
central angle (radians or degrees)
s
arc length (length)

단계별 가이드

  1. 1Arc length = r × θ (where θ is in radians)
  2. 2Arc length = (θ/360) × 2πr (where θ is in degrees)
  3. 3Sector area = ½r²θ (radians)
  4. 4Convert degrees to radians: θ_rad = θ_deg × π/180

자주 묻는 질문

Why is arc length different from chord length?

Arc length measures the actual curved path along the circle, while chord length is the straight-line distance between endpoints. The arc is always longer unless the angle is 0.

What is the arc length of a full circle?

For a full circle (θ = 360° = 2π rad), the arc length equals the circumference: s = 2πr.

How do I convert between degrees and radians for arc length?

Use the formula: θ_radians = θ_degrees × π/180, or θ_degrees = θ_radians × 180/π.
