How does the Arc Length Calculator work?

Circular arc: L = rθ (θ in radians) or L = (θ/360°) × 2πr (degrees) Then: General curve: L = ∫ √(1 + (dy/dx)²) dx (calculus) Then: Approximations: straight line distance for small arcs Then: Chord vs. arc: arc always longer except in limit.

Can you give an example of how to use the Arc Length Calculator?

Example: Input r=5, theta=π/3 gives a result of Arc 5.236.

Is the Arc Length Calculator free to use?

Yes — completely free with no registration, download, or subscription required. All calculations happen instantly in your browser.
