Arc Lengths (Radians)

Below shows a circle, with centre O.
The points A, B and X are points on the circumference of the circle.

You can:

• shift the point O to change the position of the circle
• shift the point X to change the size of the circle
• shift the points A and B to change their positions and the arc length of AB

Instructions:

1. Adjust the arc length of AB.
2. Check all the boxes.
3. Observe the values of \(\frac{\theta }{{2\pi}}\) and \(\frac{{{\rm{Arc\;Length,\;}}AB}}{{{\rm{Circumference}}}}\).
4. Repeat steps 1 ~ 3 for other arc lengths of AB.
