an unfocused drawing made while a person's attention is otherwise occupied. Doodles are simple

drawings that can have concrete representational meaning or may

just be abstract shapes.

ARC LENGTH

ARC LENGTHit refers to the fractional part of the circumference subtended by the arc in a circle. Radian

measure is used to find the arc length.

The arc length (s) is directly proportional to the radius (r) of the circle. While the central angle (Ѳ) is constant.

In equation:s /r = Ѳ

where:s – arc length of the circler – radius of the circleѲ – central angle in

radian measure

s = Ѳ•r

1. Find arc length (s) of the circle illustrated below.

SAMPLE EXERCISE

π/35cms

π/35cm s SOLUTION:s = ѳ • r = π/3 • 5 = 5π/3

ANSWER: s = 5π/3 cm.

2. Find arc length (s) of the circleSAMPLE EXERCISE

100°7cms

SOLUTION:

s = ѳ • r = 5π/9 • 7 = 35π/9

ANSWER: s = 35π/9 cm.

3. The radius of the circle is 25mm. Find the length of an arc of the circle subtended by a central of 60°.

SAMPLE EXERCISE

SOLUTION:s = ѳ • r = π/3 • 25 = 25π/3mm

60° x π/180 °π/3
