Circumference • The distance around a circle • C = 2 r or d

Circumference • The distance around a circle • C = 2 r or d

Ex: Find the circumference of a circle with a diameter of 12 cm. C

Ex: Find the circumference of a circle with a diameter of 12 cm. C = d C = (12) C = 12 cm C = 37. 70 cm * If asked for an exact answer, the result would look like this.

Ex: Find the radius of a circle with a circumference of 52 in. C

Ex: Find the radius of a circle with a circumference of 52 in. C = 2 r 52/2 = r 8. 28 in. r

Arc Length • Arc Length is a PORTION of the circumference • Don’t confuse

Arc Length • Arc Length is a PORTION of the circumference • Don’t confuse arc length with arc measure • The length of an arc is in linear units. (such as ft, cm, etc. ) – it is dependent on the size of the circle • The measure of an arc is in degrees (we have done this already at the beginning of the unit) – it is NOT dependent on the size of the circle

Arc Length Will be in degrees Percentage of the circle that your part is

Radians • Radians are another way to measure angles • A radian is the ratio of the arc length to the radius

Converting Radians • 2π radians = 360 o • Degrees = radians * 360/2

Converting Radians • 2π radians = 360 o • Degrees = radians * 360/2 π • Radians = degrees * 2 π/360

Arc length with radians • If we rearrange the formula for radians, it is

Arc length with radians • If we rearrange the formula for radians, it is easy to find arc length if given radians

Examples • Convert to radians • Convert to degrees • If an angle has

Examples • Convert to radians • Convert to degrees • If an angle has a measure of π radians and the radius of the circle is 8 inches, what is the arc length?
