Arc Length Calculator

Calculate an arc length from a radius and central angle without duplicating the full-circle Circumference Calculator.

Enter circular measurements

Enter measurements and select Calculate.

Formula

Arc length = rθ when θ is measured in radians. Degree inputs are converted with θ × π ÷ 180. Angles must be no more than one full circle.

Ownership boundary

This calculator measures a selected arc. The Circumference Calculator remains the canonical tool for a complete circle.

Worked example
