When to use it

Use it when radius and central angle are already known and you need a quick estimate before comparing options, checking a worksheet, or copying the result into another workflow.

Inputs

  • Radius is one of the direct inputs used to calculate arc length.
  • Central angle is one of the direct inputs used to calculate arc length.

Formula

arc length = 2 x pi x r x angle / 360

Example

Radius 5 with 60° angle gives arc about 5.24.

What the result means
