How to Make an Arc of a Circle?
To make arc, we can use following steps:
- Pick any three distinct points that are not collinear.
- Draw straight lines connecting each pair of points.
- Construct the perpendicular bisectors of both lines and locate their point of intersection. This is the circumcircle’s center.
- Choose the distance between the center and any of the three points as the radius.
- Using the chosen radius and the center point, draw a circle.
Exact steps are illustrated in the following illustration:
Arc of a Circle
Arc of a Circle is a part of the circumference of a circle or we can also say the Arc of a Circle is some percentage of the circle’s circumference. As we know, a circle is defined as a two-dimensional geometrical object where all the points are equidistant from the center and the distance measured around the circle is known as a circumference and some portion of the circumference taken at a time is known as the Arc of a Circle.
In this article, we will learn the Arc of a Circle in detail, including its definition, types, and arc length formula. Other than that we will also discuss the angle subtended by an arc and the theorem related to this angle as well.
