ARC LENGHT OF

CIRCLE
ARC LENGHT is a portion
of the circumference of a
circle
CENTRAL ANGLE
an angle whose vertex is the
center of a circle and whose legs
(sides) are radii intersecting
the circle in two distinct points.

The measure of a cental angle is equal to the

measure of its intercepted arc

SECTOR OF A
CIRCLE
 What is a sector of circle?
A sector is created by the central angle formed with
two radii, and it includes the area inside
the circle from that center point to the circle itself

 In a given circle of
radius r, the

P = 2r + S

where r = radius
S = arc length
