How to Find Central Angle?
A central angle is defined as the angle subtended by an arc at the center of a circle. The radius vectors form the arms of the angle. A central angle is calculated using the formula:
Central Angle = Arc length(AB) / Radius(OA) = (s × 360°) / 2πr, where 's' is arc length, and 'r' is radius of the circle.
Solved Example:
Find Central Angle if the arc length is 5 units and radius is 6 units?
Solution:
Central Angle = Arc length(AB) / Radius(OA) = (s × 360°) / 2πr
= (5 × 360°) / 2 × 3.14 × 6
= 1800 / 37.68
= 47.77
Similarly, you can try the calculator to find the central angle for
1) arc length = 11units and radius = 9units
2) arc length = 7units and radius = 8units
