The Length of a Circle's Arc calculator computes the length of a segment of the circumference, the defined by the circle's radius (r) and the angle swept from the center of the circle (Θ).

INSTRUCTIONS:  Choose units and enter the following:

• (r) Radius of Circle
• (Θ) Angle of Arc

Arc Length (L) : The length of the arc is returned in meters.  However, this can be automatically converted to many other length units via the pull-down menu.

The Math

The formula for the arch length is:

L = r ⋅ θ 

where:

• L is the arc length
• θ is the swept angle
• r is the radius of the circle
