Relationship between arclength, radius, and angle measure.?

Okay, so the example in my book says that the angle measure *radius = arc length, when the angle measure is in radians. What about if the angle measure is in degrees? How does the formula for arc length change?

  1. 1 radian=57.3 degree

    So if angel=20 deg, ark length=r*20/57.29578


  2. (Angle in Degrees / 360) * 2 * Pi * Radius = Arc

    Pi here is 22/7

  3. when angle measured in radian

    arc length = angle measure x r

    when angle measured in deg

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

    relation betn radian and deg

    r(rad) = rxpi /180  (deg)

    so now again consider

    arc length = angle measure x r(radian

    = angle measure x rx pi /180 (deg)

    or

    = angle measurex r x 2x pi / 360

    your qs.

    (arc length times 360/angle)/ 2 pi?

    yes, if you want to solve for  "r"

    r = (arc length x 360) / (angle measure x 2pi)
