Find the length of an arc of a circle if R = 4.2 l = 120 °.

A circle is a closed plane curve that consists of points on a plane that are equidistant from the center.

An arc is the portion of a circle between two radii.

Center angle – the angle with the apex at the center of the circle.

L = πrα / 180º, where:

r is the radius of the circle;

α is the central angle;

L is the arc length;

π – 3.14.

L = 3.14 ∙ 4.2 ∙ 120º / 180º = 1582.56 / 180º = 8.792 ≈ 8.8 cm.

Answer: The length of a circular arc is 8.8 cm.
