Based on the diagram, the following formula is true.
s=360∘θ⋅2πr
Consider the arc s in the following diagram.
Since a circle measures 360∘, this arc represents 360∘θ of ⊙C. Therefore, the ratio of the arc length s to the circumference of the whole circle is proportional to 360∘θ.s=360∘θ⋅2πr
From the fact that 360∘ equals 2π rad, an equivalent formula can be written if the central angle is given in radians.
Since the measure of an arc is equal to the measure of its central angle, the arc AB measures θ. Therefore, by substituting mAB for θ, another version of the formula is obtained that can also be written in degrees or radians.
