11.4 Circumference and Arc Length Learning Target: I can use similarity to calculate the length of an arc.
** Review: Interior angles of a polygon • Find the sum of the measures of the interior angles of a convex 20-gon. Sum of interior angles = (n – 2) · 180° = (20 – 2) · 180° = (18) · 180° = 3240°
Circumference of a Circle • The circumference ( C ) of a circle is • C = πd or • C = 2πr where d = diameter of the circle and r = radius of the circle.
** Example: (a) Find the circumference of a circle with radius 6cm (b)Find the radius of a circle with circumference 31m. Circumference = 2πr C = 2π(6) C=12π Circumference = 2πr 31 = 2πr r ≈ 4.9
Arc Length Corollary In a circle, the ratio of the length of a given arc to the circumference is equal to the ratio of the measure of the arc to 360°. Arc length of AB =
