Arc Length
A second way to measure an arc is in terms of its length.
arc Length = the degree Measure of an arc (the circumference of the circle)
360
L = M (2r)

Lets Practice
WHITEBOARDS!!
Determine the length of an arc with the
given central angle measure, mP, in a
circle with radius r. Round to the nearest
hundredth.
4.19
1. m P = 40; r = 6
26.18
2. m P = 75; r = 20
54.45
3. m P = 80; r = 39
138.4
4. m P = 130; r = 61
Sector of a Circle
The region bounded by 2 radii & their
intercepted arc.
Sector
Also a
sector
Visually, it might remind you of a slice
of pizza or a piece of pie.
