Arc Length Calculator

Enter values to compute.

Understanding the Math

The Arc Length Calculator computes the result using fundamental principles of mathematics. Calculate the length of a circular arc.

Formula Definition

Result = 2 × π × r × (t ÷ 360)

This formula is applied directly to the inputs provided above. Ensure all units are consistent (e.g., all lengths in meters) before calculation to guarantee accuracy.

Example Problem

Given:

  • Radius (r) = 12
  • Angle (θ) = 10

Solution:

Substitute values into the formula:

Result = 2 × π × 12 × (10 ÷ 360)

Quick Notes

  • Double-check input units. Inconsistent units (e.g. feet vs meters) will yield incorrect results.
  • Calculations are performed with high-precision floating point arithmetic.
