Arcs are an important aspect of geometry, physics, trigonometry and design work. However, curved lines are much more difficult to measure than straight lines, which is why it's important to ...
In order to derive the formula to calculate the angle at the centre of the sector, the formulae for the arc length and area of a sector can be rearranged so that we can calculate the fraction of ...
The circumference of a circle = \(\pi d\) or \(2\pi r\). Look at the sector of the circle shown below. To calculate the length of the arc, we need to know what fraction of the circle is shown. To do ...
