10-2 Angles & Arcs

Angles and arcs in a circle are related but distinct concepts. Arc measure refers to the central angle measurement and is unrelated to the circle's circumference, while arc length depends on the circumference. To find arc length, set up a proportion between the central angle and full circle angle (360 degrees) to the arc length and total circumference.

Arc LENGTH
Arc MEASURE

& Arc LENGTH

are DIFFERENT!!!!
• Arc MEASURE is related to the Central
Angle.

• Arc LENGTH is related to the actual


Circumference of the circle! (Like
walking around a track)
• Don’t Forget your Circumference Formula!

C = (2r)π or C = (d)π
How to Find Arc LENGTH!!
Set up a proportion:
